Abstract

We have investigated the influence of the annealing method on the correlation between dislocations and the threshold voltage (Vth) of metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors fabricated on liquid encapsulated Czochralski grown undoped semi-insulating GaAs substrate. For the annealing under low arsenic pressure, a one-to-one correlation betweenthe Vth and the dislocations is found and the Vth becomes lower within about a 70 µm radius around the clustered dislocations. For the annealing with arsenic overpressure by AsH3 or with plasma chemical vapor deposited SiNx cap, the Vth is not affected by the dislocations. These results indicate that the Vth is affected by the distribution of stoichiometry of substrates.
