Abstract

The invention discloses an atomic layer deposition Al2O3 / HfO2 method for regulating an energy band offset between a GaAs semiconductor and a gate dielectric. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, cleaning a GaAs substrate to remove oil stains and oxide layers; secondly, immersing the cleaned GaAs substrate in aqueous solution of (NH4)2S to form Ga-S and As-S bonds on the surface of the GaAs substrate and further remove an unnecessary As elementary substance and As oxides; and finally, placing the passivated GaAs substrate into an ALD reaction chamber immediately to perform deposition of a HfO2 / Al2O3 nano laminated film. The method optimizes and improves the interface property between the gate dielectric and the GaAs substrate, regulates the energy band offset between n-GaAs and a gate dielectric film, and improves the electrical properties of the gate dielectric film by changing the Al / Hf proportion, and has the advantages of simple process and important application prospect in preparation of GaAs-based MOSFETs.

Background technique [0002] High dielectric constant gate dielectric HfO 2 The material has replaced traditional silicon dioxide and has been successfully used in silicon-based microprocessor chips of Intel's 45nm node. Although a lot of progress has been made in the research of high dielectric materials in the field of traditional silicon-based integrated circuits, there are still a series of challenges. One of the main problems is the introduction of high-k gate dielectric and metal gate material. While reducing the high power consumption of small-scale complementary CMOS devices, it also brings about the deterioration of the channel material / gate dielectric material interfa...
