The silicon-nitride films formed by laser CVD method are used for passivating GaAs surfaces. The electrical Properties of metal-insulator-GaAs structure are studied to determined the interfacial characteristics by C-V curves and deep level transient spectroscopy(DLTS). The SiN films are photolysisly deposited from $SiH_4\;and\;NH_3$ in the range of $100^{\circ}C-300^{\circ}C$ on P type, (100) GaAs. The hysteresis is reduced and interface trap density is lowered to $10^{12}-10^{13}$ at $100^{\circ}C-200^{\circ}C$. The surface leakage current is studied too. The passivated GaAs have a little leakage current compared to non passivated GaAs.

Different kinds of post-deposition annealing (PDA) by a rapid thermal process (RTP) are used to enhance the field-effect passivation of $Al_2O_3$ film in crystal Si solar cells. To characterize the effects of PDA on $Al_2O_3$ and the interface, metal-insulator semiconductor (MIS) devices were fabricated. The effects of PDA were characterized as functions of RTP temperature from $400{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ and RTP time from 30~120 s. A high temperature PDA can retard the passivation of thin $Al_2O_3$ film in c-Si solar cells. PDA by RTP at $400^{\circ}C$ results in better passivation than a PDA at $400^{\circ}C$ in forming gas ($H_2$ 4% in $N_2$) for 30 minutes. A high thermal budget causes blistering on $Al_2O_3$ film, which degrades its thermal stability and effective lifetime. It is related to the film structure, deposition temperature, thickness of the film, and annealing temperature. RTP shows the possibility of being applied to the PDA of $Al_2O_3$ film. Optimal PDA conditions should be studied for specific $Al_2O_3$ films, considering blistering.

To investigate the possibility of the $ZrO_2$ buffer layer as the insulator for the Metal-Ferroelectric-Insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) structure, $ZrO_2$ and $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$ (SBT) thin films were deposited on the P-type Si(111) wafer by the R.F. magnetron-sputtering method. According to the process with and without the post-annealing of the $ZrO_2$ buffer layer and SBT thin film, the diffusion amount of Sr, Bi, Ta elements show slight difference through the Glow Discharge Spectrometer (GDS) analysis. From X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) results, we could confirm that the post-annealing process affects the chemical binding condition of the interface between the $ZrO_2$ thin film and the Si substrate. Compared to the MFIS structure without the post-annealing of the $ZrO_2$ buffer layer, memory window value of MFlS structure with post-annealing of the $ZrO_2$ buffer layer were considerably improved. The window memory of the Pt/SBT (260 nm, $800^{\circ}C)/ZrO_2$ (20 nm) structure increases from 0.75 to 2.2 V under the applied voltage of 9 V after post-annealing.

The double insulating layer consisting of anodic oxide and ZnS was formed for HgCdTe metal insulator semiconductor(MIS) structure. ZnS was evaporated on the anodic oxide grown in H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ electrolyte. Recently, this insulating mechanism for HgCdTe MIS has been deeply studied for improving HgCdTe surface passivation. It was found through TEM observation that an interface layer is formed between ZnS and anodic oxide layers for the first time in the study of this area. EDS analysis of chemical compositions using by electron beam of 20.angs. in diameter and XPS depth composition profile indicated strongly that the new interface is composed of ZnO. Also TEM high resolution image showed that the structure of oxide layer has been changed from the amorphous state to the microsrystalline structure of 100.angs. in diameter after the evaporation of ZnS. The double insulating layer with the resistivity of 10$^{10}$ .ohm.cm was estimated to be proper insulating layer of HgCdTe MIS device. The optical reflectance of about 7% in the region of 5.mu.m showed anti-reflection effect of the insulating layer. The measured C-V curve showed the large shoft of flat band voltage due to the high density of fixed oxide charges about 1.2*10$^{12}$ /cm$^{2}$. The oxygen vacancies and possible cationic state of Zn in the anodic oxide layer are estimated to cause this high density of fixed oxide charges.

The silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$) was deposited using various gas as oxygen and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) in nowadays. In order to improve electrical characteristics and the interface state density ($D_{it}$) in low temperature, It was deposited with carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and silane ($SiH_4$) gas by inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). Each $D_{it}$ of $SiO_2$ using $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ gas was $1.30{\times}10^{10}cm^{-2}{\cdot}eV^{-1}$ and $3.31{\times}10^{10}cm^{-2}{\cdot}eV^{-1}$. It showed $SiO_2$ using $CO_2$ gas was about 2.55 times better than $N_2O$ gas. After 10 years when the thin film was applied to metal/insulator/semiconductor(MIS)-nonvolatile memory(NVM), MIS NVM using $SiO_2$($CO_2$) on tunneling layer had window memory of 2.16 V with 60% retention at bias voltage from +16 V to -19 V. However, MIS NVM applied $SiO_2$($N_2O$) to tunneling layer had 2.48 V with 61% retention at bias voltage from +20 V to -24 V. The results show $SiO_2$ using $CO_2$ decrease the $D_{it}$ and it improves the operating voltage.

An $Al_2O_3/AlN$ bilayer deposited on GaN by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is employed to prepare $Al_2O_3/AlN/GaN$ metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) diodes, and their interfacial properties are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with sputter etch treatment and current-voltage (I-V) measurements. XPS analyses reveal that the native oxides on the GaN surface are reduced significantly during the early ALD stage, indicating that AlN deposition effectively clelans up the GaN surface. In addition, the suppression of Al-OH bonds is observed through the ALD process. This result may be related to the improved device performance because Al-OH bonds act as interface defects. Finally, temperature dependent I-V analyses show that the barrier height increases and the ideality factor decreases with an increase in temperature, which is associated with the barrier inhomogeneity. A Modified Richardson plot produces the Richardson constant of $A^{**}$ as $30.45Acm^{-2}K^{-2}$, which is similar to the theoretical value of $26.4Acm^{-2}K^{-2}$ for n-GaN. This indicates that the barrier inhomogeneity appropriately explains the forward current transport across the $Au/Al_2O_3/AlN/GaN$ interface.

일반적으로 MIS(도체-부도체-반도체)의 다층 구조로 이루어진 대칭 결합선로에 대한 해석 절차는 모드(even and odd) 해석에 기초한 특성임피던스와 전파상수를 추출함으로서 단층의 결합선로 해석 절차와 동일하다. 본 논문에서는 손실매질의 다층구조로 이루어진 마이크로 스트립선로의 손실특성의 개선을 위한 새로운 구조를 제안한다. MIS 구조로 된 전송선로의 Si와 SiO2층 사이에 0전위를 가진 도체를 일정한 간격의 주기적인 배열로 고안된 새로운 모델의 MIS구조에 대한 유한차분법을 이용한 해석방법이 사용된다. 특히 전송선로에 대한 유전체의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 0전위를 가진 주기적인 결합의 도체로 이루어진 구조가 시간영역의 신호를 통해 시험된다. 다양한 손실률을 가진 불완전 유전체에 따른 주파수 의존적인 추출된 전송선로 파라미터와 등가회로 파라미터가 주파수 함수로서 나타내진다. 특히 본 논문에서 제안한 새로운 구조의 불완전 유전체에 대한 전송선로 파라미터가 주파수 함수로 구해진다.

$Al_{2}O_{3}$ thin films were deposited on GaN(0001) by using a Remote Plasma Atomic Layer Deposition(RPALD) technique with a trimethylaluminum(TMA) precursor and oxygen radicals in the temperature range of $25{\sim}500^{\circ}C$. The growth rate per cycle was varied with the substrate temperature from $1.8{\AA}$/cycle at $25^{\circ}C$ to $0.8{\AA}$/cycle at $500^{\circ}C$. The chemical structure of the $Al_{2}O_{3}$ thin films was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The electrical properties of $Al_{2}O_{3}$/GaN Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) capacitor grown at a $300^{\circ}C$ process temperature were excellent, a low electrical leakage current density(${\sim}10^{-10}A/cm^2$ at 1 MV) at room temperature and a high dielectric constant of about 7.2 with a thinner oxide thickness of 12 nm. The interface trap density($D_{it}$) was estimated using a high-frequency C-V method measured at $300^{\circ}C$. These results show that the RPALD technique is an excellent choice for depositing high-quality $Al_{2}O_{3}$ as a Sate dielectric in GaN-based devices.

InP표면에 화확적 방법으로 성장시킨 산화막을 금속과 n-InP사이에 삽입시켜 제작한 InP 턴넬 MIS(m etal-insulator-semiconductor)소자의 전기적 특성과 그 불안정성을 조사하였다. 성장된 박막은 In2O3와 P2O5가 혼합된 형태를 이루고 있었으며, 그 두께는 약 200A°으로 추정되었다. 이 MIS다이오em의 순방향전류와 역방향전류는 진공중에서의 약간의 열처리로도 증가하였으며, 다습한 분위기에서는 감소되는 현상이 관측 되었다. 이와 같은 전류-전압 특성곡선의 변화 및 그 불안정성은 수분의 흡수에 따른 산화박막의 물리 화학적 특성과 경계면 상태밀도의 변차에 기인되는 현상임을 논의하였다.

MIS(도체-부도체-반도체) 구조로된 전송선로를 해석하기 위하여 기본적으로 특성임피던스와 전파상수의 추출에 기초한 일반적인 특성화 절차가 사용된다. 본논문에서는 Si와 Si02층 사이에 0전위를 가진 도체를 일정한 간격의 주기적인 배열로 고안된 새로운 모델의 MIS구조에 대한 유한차분법을 이용한 해석방법을 제안한다. 특히 전송선로에 대한 유전체의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 0전위를 가진 주기적인 결합의 도체로 이루어진 구조가 시간영역의 신호를 통해 시험된다. Quality factor 뿐만아니라 주파수 의존적인 추출된 전송선로 파라미터와 등가회로 파라미터가 주파수 및 0전위 도체 간격의 함수로서 나타내진다. 특히 전송선로의 Quality factor가 특성임피던스 및 유효유전 상수의 큰 변화없이 개선될수 있음을 볼 수 있다.
