Improvement of SiNx : H/InP gate structures for the fabrication of metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistors

In this paper we report on the optimization of the SiNchi:H insulator, deposited by the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma method, as a dielectric for metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures built on an InP compound semiconductor. Two different MIS structures have been obtained in whic...
