A comparative high-temperature electrical study of single crystal and amorphous ZnGa2O4 as a gate dielectric in β-Ga2O3 MOSCAP devices
Spinel ZnGa2O4, a wide bandgap semiconductor with high breakdown voltage and thermal stability, is promising for power electronics. Amorphous and single-crystal ZnGa2O4 thin films were deposited on n-type β-Ga2O3 substrates. Au/ZnGa2O4/β-Ga2O3 MOSCAPs were evaluated up to 300 °C. Single-crystal (111) ZnGa2O4 showed a 5.06 eV bandgap, confirmed by XPS. Reverse leakage current rose by nearly three orders of magnitude from room temperature to 300 °C. Poole–Frenkel (PF) analysis revealed a 0.58 V trap and 0.47–0.23 eV activation energy. Amorphous ZnGa2O4 films (5.11 eV bandgap) exhibited leakage current increases of five orders of magnitude and PF traps at 0.6 V with 0.45–0.43 eV activation energies. C–V analysis showed significant flat-band voltage shifts and slope changes in both devices, indicating rising oxide and interface trap densities with temperature.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
