Abstract

The electrical characteristics and reliability of HfO2-based p-GaAs metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors (EOT: 2.4 nm to 4.8 nm) with a thin Silicon (Si) interfacial passivation layer (IPL) have been investigated with different thicknesses of HfO2. SILC generation kinetics and flat band instability were investigated via CVS and CCS measurements. In addition, breakdown voltages of gate oxide according to different thicknesses of HfO 2 were studied. It is found that an optimum Si IPL and a thin HfO2 layer are essential to improve reliability characteristics of GaAs MOS capacitors which will enable gate oxide scaling down in GaAs system.
