High temperature dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) experiments have been performed on MIS (metalinsulator-semiconductor), MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) single-layer and MIOS (metal-insulator-oxide-semiconductor) double-layer structures, where I is polyimide (PI) film (10µm), and O is PECVD SiO 2 thin film (1.5 µm-thick), from 200 to 350 °C, in the 10 -1 Hz to 10 6 Hz frequency range. In such a high temperature range and/or at low frequencies, the dielectric spectra are
often influenced by interfacial dielectric relaxations such as Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars (MWS) and electrode polarization (EP). The empirical Havriliak-Negami (H-N) model is used to determine the values from the effective ac dielectric response. For single-(PI) and double-layer structures (PI/SiO 2 ), thevaries from 1.1x10 -10 to 5.5x10 -9 Ω -1 cm -1 and from 7x10 -14 to 2.3x10 -12 Ω -1 cm -1 between 250 and 350°C, with an activation energy of the conduction phenomenon of 1.1 and 0.95 eV, respectively. The PI/SiO 2 structure is suited for semiconductor device passivation applications at high temperature up to 300°C.
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.
