We developed and applied a method of InAs passivation in the low-energy plasma of Townsend discharge. The controlled interface oxidation in the Ar:O2:CF4 gas mixture under visualization of gas discharge plasma allowed growing thin homogeneous films in the range of 5–15 nm thickness. Oxidation with the addition of CF4 in gas-discharge plasma led to the formation of In and As oxyfluorides with a wide insulating gap and isostructural interface with unpinned Fermi level behavior. The metal-oxide-semiconductor structure showed excellent capacitance-voltage characteristics: small frequency dispersion (<15 mV), density of interface states (Dit) in the gap below 5 × 1010 eV–1cm−2, and fixed charge (Qfix) below 5 × 1011 cm−2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
