Description
Summary:The interfacial state density existing in metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures was measured by deep level transient spectroscopy technique. The MIS structures were fabricated on InP substrates by direct deposition of silicon nitride (SiNxH) thin films by the electron cyclotron resonance method. In this work, we show that interfacial state density can be diminished without degrading electrical insulator properties by fabricating MIS structures based on a bi-layered insulator with different insulator compositions and different thickness. The effect of rapid thermal annealing treatment has been analysed in detail in these samples. An interface state density as low as 3x 10(11) cm(-2) eV(-1) was measured in some structures.
