dc.description.abstract | A thin silicon oxide (SiOx) layer (thickness: 1.5-2.0 nm) formed at an Al2O3/Si interface can enhance the interface properties. However, it is challenging to control the characteristics of thin SiOx layers because SiOx forms naturally during Al2O3 deposition on Si substrates. In this study, a similar to 1.5 nm-thick SiOx layer was inserted between Al2O3 and Si substrates by wet chemical oxidation to improve the passivation properties. The acidic solutions used for wet chemical oxidation were HO:H2O2:H2O, H2SO4:H2O2:H2O, and HNO3. The thicknesses of SiOx layers formed in the acidic solutions were similar to 1.48, similar to 1.32, and similar to 1.50 nm for SiOx-HCL, SiOx-H2SO4. and SiOx-HNO3, respectively. The leakage current characteristics of SiOx-HNO3 were better than those of the oxide layers formed in the other acidic solutions. After depositing a similar to 10 nm-thick Al2O3 on an SiOx-acidic/Si structure, we measured the effective carrier lifetime using quasi steady-state photoconductance and examined the interfacial properties of Al2O3/SiOx-acidic/Si using surface carrier lifetime simulation and capacitance-voltage measurement. The effective carrier lifetime of Al2O3/SiOx-HNO3/Si was relatively high (similar to 400 mu s), resulting from the low surface defect density (2.35-2.88 x 10(10) cm(-2)eV(-1)). The oxide layer inserted between Al2O3 and Si substrates by wet chemical oxidation helped improve the Al2O3/Si interface properties. | - |
