“…An oxide/Ga x In 1− x As interface is frequently found as part of various device components (e.g., metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) high electron mobility transistor, structure, and IR detectors) currently used in electronics and in the design of many a potential future device (e.g., III–V MOS field‐effect transistor, and tunnel field‐effect transistor) . However, oxide/Ga x In 1− x As interfaces are usually considered as nonoptimized, adversely affecting the device performance: namely, they contain a high density of material defects that cause electronic defect states in the band‐gap area (gap states), which further increase the leakage current, nonradiative recombination, and Fermi‐level pinning, for example.…”
