摘要
GaN-based metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors were fabricated by using Ga oxide. The oxide was formed by photoelectrochemical (PEC) oxidation of GaN and was dominated by the beta-Ga2O3 phase. The electrical properties were characterized by capacitance-voltage and current-voltage measurements. The MOS structures with PEC-formed thin oxide exhibit a fixed oxide charge density of 4.8 x 10(12) cm(-2) and a density of interface states in the lower 10(12) eV(-1.)cm(-2) regime, and show stability at temperatures below 700degreesC. The leakage current in the MOS capacitors is dominated by surface injection of carriers from the gate electrode.
