  • N型In0.53Ga0.47As金属-氧化物-半导体(MOS)结构作为高性能红外探测器的核心功能元件, 其界面电学特性直接决定了器件的灵敏度和稳定性. 然而, InGaAs表面悬挂键与无序化学键引入高密度且分布复杂的界面缺陷, 始终是限制该类器件性能的关键因素. 针对这一难题, 本工作引入Al2O3/Y2O3叠层介质, 利用超薄Y2O3对InGaAs界面进行钝化, 并以Al2O3封帽保护, 从而优化InGaAs界面质量. 并基于实验测量数据, 利用TCAD构建了耦合近带边指数分布与离散能级缺陷态的综合界面缺陷态模型, 系统阐明界面缺陷态分布形式、类型以及密度等关键物理参数对低频和高频电容-电压(C-V)特性的影响. 结果表明, 指数型分布的价带施主与导带受主界面缺陷态分别主导了积累区与反型区的电容衰减及曲线拉伸. 此外, 高密度离散能级界面缺陷态产生的界面电荷会增强电场屏蔽效应, 引发能带弯曲钉扎现象. 该工作揭示了在C-V特性建模中考量界面缺陷态分布的必要性, 为InGaAs MOS器件的界面优化提供了重要理论依据.

     

    The effects of interface defect states with different distribution forms on the C-V characteristics and interface charge modulation behavior of Al2O3/Y2O3/In0.53Ga0.47As MOS structures were investigated. Experimental data and TCAD simulations were combined to analyze their underlying mechanisms. Using the experimental C-V curves at 100 Hz and 1 MHz as calibration benchmarks, a comprehensive interface defect state model consisting of near-band-edge exponentially distributed continuous defect states and discrete energy level defect states was established at the InGaAs/Y2O3 interface. By adjusting the defect state type, we analyzed the reference energy level, energy position, defect state density, and characteristic energy parameter, the response characteristics of different defect states. Based on the evolution of band bending, carrier distribution, and interface trapped charge variation during gate-voltage sweeping, the formation mechanisms of the overall stretch-out and local anomalous fluctuations in the experimental C-V curves were further clarified. The results show that discrete donor-like and acceptor-like interface defect states mainly produce local responses when the Fermi level sweeps across specific energy levels. Through enhanced electric-field screening and the introduction of defect capacitance, they can induce local capacitance reduction or hump-like behavior, accompanied by Fermi-level pinning. In contrast, exponentially distributed interface defect states mainly modulate the interface trapped charge and the associated screening effect through charging and discharging of defect state over a wide energy range, thereby affecting the overall stretch-out of the C-V curves over a wide bias range. Among them, exponentially distributed donor-like defect states near the valence-band side mainly modulate the response in the accumulation region, whereas exponentially distributed acceptor-like defect states near the conduction-band side mainly suppress inversion electron accumulation. These results indicate that a single defect state distribution model is insufficient to simultaneously explain the overall profile and local details of the experimental curves, and that the synergistic effects of continuous and discrete defect states must be considered together. The comprehensive interface defect state model and analysis method established in this work provides a useful framework for studies on the modulation mechanisms of interface defect states, parameter extraction, and interface process optimization in InGaAs MOS structures.
