摘要：

This paper studies the chemical and field effect passivation properties of silicon surfaces by thin hafnium oxide (HfO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) layers grown by chemical-vapor-based atomic layer deposition method. Using a rigorous metal-oxide-semiconductor model and results from capacitance-voltage measurements, the density of fixed charges (N-f) and the density of interface traps (D-it) at the HfO2/Si and Al2O3/Si interfaces were obtained. Microwave photoconductivity decay measurements were used to characterize interface recombination velocities at these interfaces.
