技术优势

Extremely high capacitance density Reduces high leakage currents Low defect densities

技术应用

Semiconductors Transistors

详细技术说明

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have developed a processing method for group III-V semiconductor surfaces prior to high-dielectric constant dielectric deposition by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or another deposition method. The method exposes the III-V surface to alternating or repeated cycles of a remote or direct plasma, which may be a plasma of nitrogen or hydrogen or another gas, or a mixture of such gases, and a titanium precursor. This provides the low defect densities and extremely high capacitance densities without reaching limitations posed by high leakage currents.

Background

Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) is a technology for developing integrated semiconductors and transistors that amplify or switch electrical signals. CMOS transistors have been using silicon channels that limit capacitance density and induce high-voltage leaks. Group III-V compounds are semiconducting materials that feature higher carrier mobilities, increased capacitance density, and less voltage leakage than silicon channels.
