Abstract
Abstract The structural, chemical, electrical and carrier transport properties of high-k ZrO 2 on n-type InP with Au electrode have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) , current-voltage (I V) and capacitance-voltage (C V) techniques at room temperature. Results show that the high barrier height is achieved for the Au/ZrO 2 /n-InP metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) diode as compared to the Au/n-InP metal-semiconductor (MS) diode. Using Cheung's functions, the barrier height, ideality factor and series resistance are estimated for the MS and MIS diodes. The barrier heights are determined by I V, Cheung's and surface potential-forward voltage plot for both the MS and MIS diodes which are found to be in good agreement with each other. Results indicate that the interface state density of Au/ZrO 2 /n-InP MIS diode is lower than that of Au/n-InP MS diode. This may be attributed to the fact that the introduction of the high-k ZrO 2 interlayer led to reduction of the interface state density in the Au/n-InP MS diode. Results indicate that the Poole-Frenkel emission is the dominant conduction mechanism in the lower bias region while Schottky emission is dominant in the higher bias region for both the Au/n-InP MS and Au/ZrO 2 /n-InP MIS diodes.
