Abstract

ABSTRACTA review is given on insulators (oxides and nitrides) which have been deposited on GaN to form metal-insulator (oxides and nitrides)-semiconductor (MOS or MIS) diodes with a low interfacial density of states (Dit). These insulators include AlN, SiO2, Si3N4, SiO2/Ga2O3, and Ga2O3(Gd2O3). Techniques for depositing these insulators and methods for cleaning GaN surfaces prior to the insulator deposition are discussed. Recent progress on GaN MOSFET's (with SiO2/Ga2O3, and Ga2O3(Gd2O3) as gate dielectrics) and MISFET's (with AlN as a gate dielectric) is also reviewed. When exposed to room air, GaN surface is not as robust as previously thought. Therefore, preparation of a clean GaN surface for deposition of oxides and nitrides is necessary to achieve a low Dit. By heating GaN samples in UHV to clean the surfaces followed by deposition of Ga2O3(Gd2O3) and SiO2, we have achieved a low Ditwith negligible hysteretic loops in the capacitance-voltage curves
