Abstract

III–V compound semiconductors are regarded as promising candidates to replace silicon channel for future metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) because of their high mobility. However, compared with Si-MOSFETs, lack of high quality high-k gate stack hampers the development of III–Vs MOSFETs. Therefore, for high-k/III–Vs, interface passivation and characterization become very important to realize high-performance devices.
In this chapter, after a brief review about the background and the history of III–V MOSFETs, we select several typical high-k/III–V stacks, such as high-k/InP, high-k/GaSb, high-k/GaAs, to illustrate the impacts and mechanism of various passivation methods on them. Moreover, some effective electrical and optical characterization methods for high-k/III–V system are also introduced and discussed.
