Hydrogen sulfide plasma passivation of gallium arsenide
نویسنده
چکیده
Improvement in the electrical properties of the GaAs surface has been accomplished using a room-temperature hydrogen sulfide plasma. The surface has then been protected by a 300 “C plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) SiO, film. This treatment is highly reproducible due to computer control of process parameters and long-lasting due to the SiOz cap. Improved C-V characteristics were observed, showing interface trap densities in the high 10” cm ’ eV ’ range. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements on the sulfided samples showed increased intensity over the untreated samples.

Improved electrical properties of wafer-bonded p-GaAs/n-InP interfaces with sulfide passivation
Sulfide-passivated GaAs and InP wafers were directly bonded to explore the efficiency of sulfide passivation on the bonded interfacial properties. We find that the bonded GaAs/InP interfaces after sulfide passivation contain sulfur atoms and a decreased amount of oxide species relative to the pairs bonded after conventional acid treatment; however, the residual sulfur atoms have no effect on th...
متن کاملReal-time, in sifu monitoring of surface reactions during plasma passivation of GaAs
Real-time, in situ observations of surface chemistry during the remote plasma passivation of GaAs is reported herein. Using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the relative concentrations of -As-O, -As-H, -H,O, and -CHz bonds are measured as a function of exposure to the effluent from a microwave discharge through NH,, NDs, Hz, and D,. The photoluminescence inte...
متن کاملHydrogen in compound semiconductors
Hydrogen can be inadvertently introduced at any of several steps in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices. The most common consequence of hydrogenation is the passivation of dopant impurities, which leads to a decrease in the electrical conductivity of the material. The most successfully applied experimental technique for directly determining the involvement of hydrogen has been infrared-ab...

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to study the (110) cross~sectional surfaces of molecular-beam epitaxially grown III-Y homoand heterostructures, which include GaAs multiple p-n junctions, (InGa) As/GaAs strained-layer multiple quantum wens, and (AIGa)As/GaAs heterojunctions. Both doping and compositional effects can be resolved by the topographic contrasts of constant-current STM im...
متن کاملEffects of hydrogen on the electronic properties of dilute GaAsN alloys.
Nitrogen has profound effects on the electronic structure of GaAs, as only a few percent of N can drastically lower the band gap. It is, however, not recognized that the same amount of N can also qualitatively alter the electronic behavior of hydrogen: First-principles calculations reveal that, in GaAsN, a H atom bonds to N and can act as a donor in its own right, whereas in GaAs and GaN, H is ...
