Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) As the insulator for MIS structures in GaN-based power devices, Al2O3 fabricated by ALD has often been used. The post-deposition annealing (PDA) has also been performed. However, the effects of the layer thickness and the PDA temperature on chemical characteristics of Al2O3 layers have not been clarified enough. In this study, the chemical characteristics of Al2O3 layers were studied by XPS and ESR. As the results, it was found that impurities in Al2O3 decrease remarkably by PDA at 600℃, and the amount of unpaired electrons in Al2O3 increase with the crystallization by PDA above 700℃. In order to reduce both the threshold voltage shift and the leakage current of GaN-based devises, two-layer structures that consist of an Al2O3 layer with PDA above 700℃ and a current blocking layer seem to be effective.
