在室温下用直流磁控反应溅射的方法制备了AlN薄膜.用AES方法和XPS方法分析了AlN膜和AlN/GaAs界面.在AlN/GaAs界面发现了O—Al键,没有发现O—Ga键或O—As键.本文通过实验证明,AlN/GaAs界面的O元素在AlN淀积过程中从GaAs表面转移到AlN膜中.这与通过PECVD方法淀积AlN薄膜形成的AlN/GaAs界面完全不同.由于AlN/GaAs界面的O元素是与Al结合的,因此有较好的界面特性.这是直流磁控反应溅射方法制备的AlN薄膜适用于GaAs器件钝化的主要原因
AlN thin films were prepared by direct current magnetron reactive sputtering at room temperature. The AlN film and AlN / GaAs interface were analyzed by AES and XPS methods. O-Al bonds were found at the AlN / GaAs interface and no O-Ga bonds or O-As bonds were found. In this paper, experiments show that the O element in the AlN / GaAs interface is transferred from the GaAs surface to the AlN film during AlN deposition. This is completely different from the AlN / GaAs interface formed by the AlN film deposition by the PECVD method. Since the O element of the AlN / GaAs interface is bonded with Al, it has better interface characteristics. This is the main reason for the passivation of GaAs devices by AlN film prepared by DC magnetron reactive sputtering
