Research Abstract

本研究は主要半導体材料について、電気化学的その場プロセスを用い、フェルミ準位のピンニング現象を除去した「ショットキー理想極限」を実現することを試みるとともに、それを電子デバイスに応用することを目的とする。得られた成果を以下にまとめる。
1) 電気化学プロセスによりInP,GaAs,GaN系半導体上に形成したショットキー接合の障壁高は、金属の仕事関数に強く依存する事を見いだした。特に、Pt/n-1nP,Pt/n-GaAsショットキーダイオードにおいて、それぞれショットキー理想極限をほぼ実現する0.86eV,0.92eV以上の障壁高が再現性良く得られた。
2) XPS/AES,C-V,I-V,ラマン散乱測定により、電気化学プロセスによる金属-半導体界面には、酸化物や歪みは存在せず、また界面近傍にプロセス損傷による深い準位は存在しないことを明らかにした。
3) 詳細なAFM測定により、界面形成は、粒径数nmの超微粒子を核とし、その粒径の増大と飽和(50nm)、粒子数の増大を伴って生じることを明らかにした。また、Pt/n-InPショットキー接合に関して、微粒子の粒径分布が均一でしかも粒径のより小さな微粒子構造を有するショットキー接合が、より大きな障壁高を持つという相関があることを明らかにした。さらに、導電性プローブを有するAFMを用いたI-V測定により、単一のptドットにおいても、大きな障壁高が実現されていることを確認した。
4) 以上の結果は、電気化学プロセスにおいては、金属電極形成初期に金属が微粒子状に析出することで、ストレスの無い金属一半導体界面が形成され、しかも界面近傍にはプロセス損傷が存在しないため、界面におけるフェルミ準位のピンニングが緩和し、金属の仕事関数に強く依存した障壁高が実現されたものと解釈される。
5) 電気化学プロセスをトランジスタのゲート電極形成に適用した。従来の様な複雑なプロセスを経ずに、電子線露光による電極パターン形成と電気化学プロセスのみの単純なプロセスにより、高周波トランジスタに必須のサブミクロン寸法のマッシュルーム型ゲート電極が形成可能であることを示した。
