摘要
This letter describes DC characteristics of AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs) with Al2O3 deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as gate dielectric. Comparison was made for the samples deposited using ozone (O-3) or water as oxidant. The effect of pretreatment, where O-3 was solely supplied prior to depositing Al2O3, was also investigated. The MIS-HEMT with O-3 pretreatment and Al2O3 gate dielectric deposited using O-3 as the oxidant exhibited the most desirable characteristics with an excellent high on/off current ratio of 7.1 x 10(10), and a low sub-threshold swing (SS) of 73mV/dec.
