摘要
This work presents the investigations of AlN thin films deposited on Si substrates by means of magnetron sputtering. Nine different sputtering processes were performed. Based on obtained results, the tenth process was prepared and performed (for future ISFET structures manufacturing). Round aluminum (Al) electrodes were evaporated on the top of deposited layers. The MIS capacitor structures enabled a subsequent electrical characterization of the AlN films by means of current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. Based on these results, the main parameters of investigated layers were obtained. Moreover, the paper describes the technology of fabrication and electrical characterization of ISFET transistors and possibility of their application as ion sensors.
