Content available remote Wpływ światła na rezystancję powierzchniową heterostruktury AlGaN/GaN
PL
Rezystancja powierzchniowa jest jednym z najczęściej wykorzystywanych parametrów elektrycznych wytworzonych cienkich warstw. Szczególną cechą rezystancji powierzchniowej jest jej skalowalność, którą często wykorzystuje się w ocenie jakościowej przyrządów półprzewodnikowych zaprojektowanych w różnej skali. W pracy przedstawiono wpływ pobudzenia UV na GaN. Na podstawie zaprezentowanej metody zbadano wpływ światła na rezystancję powierzchniową oraz uzyskano charakterystykę widmową heterostruktury AlGaN/GaN. Pomiary wykonano z wykorzystaniem struktury testowej typu Hall bar. Wzrost heterostruktury AlGaN/GaN uzyskano metodą MOCVD. Pomiary przeprowadzono w temperaturze pokojowej natomiast czynnikiem pobudzającym było światło z zakresu 280-640 nm. W pracy zbadano i omówiono zmianę rezystancji powierzchniowej w funkcji długości fali światła pobudzającego, analizowano również obecność głębokich poziomów w heterostruktorze AlGaN/GaN.

In the paper, the effect of the surface coating with palladium on hydrogen permeation of a Pd33Ni52Si15 amorphous alloy membrane was investigated. We have measured the hydrogen flow through the melt-spun amorphous membrane covered with palladium film of 10, 20, and 30 nm in thickness. Membranes have been tested in the temperature rage 294–358 K, and at pressure fixed at 102 kPa. We investigate the role of this film thickness on the activation energy for hydrogen permeability. It seemed that a relatively thin layer of the palladium on the surface of the membrane which contains over 30% of this element, should not considerably influence the permeability of the membrane for hydrogen. The membrane hydrogen permeability is correlated to permeation activation energy: the lower activation energy is, the higher permeability is observed. The activation energy for permeation strongly depends on palladium film thickness. The rapid increase of its value was recorded when the film thickness was growing up. As the result, the increase of the film thickness suppressed hydrogen permeability. Our findings are discussed in terms of a potential barrier between the two different phases.

Content available remote Hydrogen permeation properties of Pd-coated Pd33Ni52Si15 amorphous alloy membrane

The vast majority of experimental techniques used for the measurements of hydrogen permeability through metallic membranes whose one or both surfaces are covered with a thin Pd film is based on the assumption that a ratio of film-to-membrane thickness is small enough to cause hydrogen flow to be independent of the Pd film thickness. In an attempt to verify this assumption, we have measured the hydrogen flow through the Pd33Ni52Si15 amorphous membrane covered with Pd film of 10, 20, and 30 nm in thickness. Contrary to our expectations, we have found a dramatic decrease in hydrogen flow with the increase in Pd film thickness. Our findings are discussed in terms of potential barrier between the two different phases.

In the paper, the behavior of AlGaN/GaN HEMT-type heterostructures in a water solution of (KOH + HCl) with differing pH was studied. The influence of the electrolyte pH on channel pinch-off voltage was measured using impedance spectroscopy methods. It was observed that the change of the pH of electrolyte has a strong effect on the pinch-off voltage of AlGaN/GaN HEMT-type heterostructures independently of the concentration of other ions. In high-pH environment the so-called memory effect of heterostructures was revealed. Its possible origin was discussed. A general theory to explain all results was proposed.

AlGaN/GaN heterostructures attract attention of many research groups over the last decade because of their superior properties (high mobility and saturation velocity of 2DEG) and strong capability in high frequency/power electronics and sensors applications. One of the factors which reduces the mobility of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is the alloy and interface roughness scattering mechanism occurring at the heterointerface. Mathematical calculations of a wave-function of 2DEG in the channel show that theses two phenomena play an important role, due to the fact that some electrons in 2DEG can migrate into AlGaN barrier and be strongly dissipated. One of the proposed solutions against alloy scattering in the buffer layer is the use of thin AlN spacer at the heterointerface between AlGaN and GaN layers. AlN layer enhances the conduction band offset due to a polarization-induced dipole in the AlN layer, and therefore increases carrier confinement. Several Al0.18GaN0.82/AlN/GaN heterostructures with different AlN spacer layer thickness were grown by MOVPE method for studies of the Hall mobility and sheet carrier concentration of 2DEG. Hall measurements performed using Van der Pauw shown mobility maximum at nominally 1.3 nm AlN spacer thickness and almost linear dependence of sheet carrier concentration with AlN spacer thickness in the range from 0.7 to 2 nm.

Ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN heterostructures, which have low contact resistance and a good surface morphology, are required for the development of high temperature, high power and high frequency electronic devices. The paper presents the investigation of a Ti/Al based Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contact to AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. Multilayer metallization of Ti/Al/Ni/Au was evaporated by an electron gun (titanium and nickel layers) and a resistance heater (aluminum and gold layers). The contacts were annealed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system in a nitrogen ambient atmosphere over the temperature range from 715 to 865 °C. The time of the annealing process was 60 seconds. The chemical analysis, formation and deterioration mechanisms of Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN heterostructures were studied as a function of the annealing process conditions by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).

In this paper MIS equivalent electrical circuit of Au/Pd/Ti–SiO2–GaAs has been analyzed by a comparison of the results obtained from admittance and DLTS spectroscopy. Two groups of peaks with different magnitude and different gate voltage dependence have been observed in DLTS and admittance spectra. Based on the analysis of the peaks behavior, it has been concluded that they are associated with the response of bulk traps and interface states, respectively. In order to characterize bulk traps and interface states responsible for the occurrence of two groups of peaks in normalized conductance spectra we have used the equivalent circuit with two CPE-R branches. The time constant values estimated for both peaks from admittance analysis have been compared with the time constant determined from DLTS analysis. Some discrepancies have been noted between the time constants obtained for interface states whereas the time constants for bulk traps were compatible. It has been also demonstrated that when conductance peaks overlap, the admittance experimental data can be fitted by the equivalent electrical model with only one CPE-R branch. However, in this case incomplete information about the analyzed process has been obtained despite the fact that all model validity criteria can be fulfilled and the model seems to be correct.

Interfacial reactions between Ti/Al/Ni/Au metallization and GaN(cap)/AlGaN/GaN heterostructures at various annealing temperatures ranging from 715 to 865 °C were studied. Electrical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, van der Pauw Hall mobility measurements and surface topography measurement with atomic force microscopy (AFM) were performed. The ohmic metallizations were annealed at various temperatures in a rapid thermal annealing system and the annealing time of 60 seconds was kept for all samples. To study the in?uence of the parameters of annealing process on the properties of the 2 dimensional electron gas (2DEG) the van der Pauw Hall mobility measurement was used. Interfacial reactions between the contact metals and heterostructures were analyzed through depth pro?les of secondary ion mass spectroscopy. It was observed that transition from nonlinear to linear I-V behavior occurred after the annealing at 805 °C. For the studied samples, the most promising results were obtained for the annealing temperature of 805 °C. This temperatue ensured not only low contact resistance but also made possible to preserve the 2DEG.

The lithography is a main technology process which determines the properties of semiconductor devices. The resolution of optical lithography is insufficient for creation of submicrometer patterns, like, e.g., gate electrode in HEMT transistors. Thus, a novel technique that uses AFM technique and common photolithography was proposed. In the paper, the results of nanoscratching lithography were presented and discussed. Also the transmission and root mean square of thin metal films measurements were summarized.

A correlation of surface potential maps and photocurrent distribution images in metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structures allows to notice spatial nonuniformities in detector principle of operation. This effect exists only for low frequency modulation of optical excitation. This phenomenon was explained by the inhomogeneity of potential barriers and surface states density in heteroepitaxial gallium nitride layers caused by their columnar structure.
