Metal Oxide Processing on Gallium Nitride and Silino

  • III-V Nitrides are intriguing semiconductors for high-power RF amplifiers and other applications. Gallium Nitride has become popular for mm-HFETs due to its material properties. The HFET however, has yet to fully realize the full potential of GaN. MOSFETs provide an ideal structure because they can provide a true off-state while increasing the possible breakdown voltage. Deposition techniques for low defect density oxides must be further developed to fully realize GaN MOSFET technology. Atomic Layer Deposition provides a promising process technique by which to deposit low defect density oxides on GaN. Controlling surface chemistry can allow deposition of low defect oxides on a wide range of semiconductors including Silicon.
