Abstract
Band offsets at the interfaces of n- and p-type InP ((100) and (111)A) and atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) Al2O3 were measured with internal photoemission and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Similarly, the band offsets at the interface of semi-insulating InP (100) and ALD HfO2 were also determined. The barrier between the top of InP valence band (VB) and the bottom of Al2O3 conduction band (CB) is found to be 3.44 eV for p-type material and 3.53 eV for n-type. The photoemission thresholds are found to be sensitive to the annealing conditions, and blue shifts are observed after annealing. The offsets from InP valence band to the HfO2 conduction band for the HfO2/InP stack are found to be 3.89 eV, and we observed an increase of 60 meV if the InP surface is passivated.
