摘要
We investigate electrical properties of Ni/Al2O3/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures having different pre-treatment of GaN surface by O-2, Ar and NH3, combined with various temperature of annealing. MOS and reference Ni/GaN Schottky contact are characterized using current-voltage and capacitance-voltage methods. MOS structures compared with the Schottky contact ones show leakage current reduction for all types of processing, from 3 to 5 orders of magnitude in reverse direct. We observed substantial influence of the pre-treatment on electrical parameters of MOS structures. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
