Zusammenfassung: | The pronounced high interfacial densities of states (Dit) commonly observed around the midgap energy of dielectric/GaAs interfaces are generally considered the culprit responsible for the poor electrical performance of the corresponding inversion-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors. In this work, comprehensive Dit spectra as the function of energy [Dit(E)] inside the In0.2Ga0.8As band gap were constructed by using the quasistatic capacitance-voltage and the temperature-dependent conductance method on n- and p-type ultrahigh vacuum (UHV)-Ga2O3(Gd2O3)/In0.2Ga0.8As and atomic-layer-deposited (ALD)-Al2O3/In0.2Ga0.8As metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors. Unlike the ALD-Al2O3/In0.2Ga0.8As interface giving a Dit spectrum with a high midgap Dit peak, the UHV-Ga2O3(Gd2O3)/In0.2Ga0.8As interface shows a Dit spectrum that monotonically decreases from the valence band to the conduction band with no discernible midgap peak. |
