Abstract

The effect of $NH_3$ plasma passivation on the chemical and electrical characteristics of ALD HfAlO dielectric on the InGaAs substrate was investigated. The results show that $NH_3$ plasma passivation exhibit better electrical & chemical performance such as much lower leakage current, lower density of interface trap(Dit) level, and low unstable interfacial oxide. $NH_3$ plasma passivation can effectively enhance interfacial characteristics. Therefore $NH_3$ plasma passivation improved the HfAlO dielectric performance on the InGaAs substrate.
