Quantification of interfacial state density (D _it) at the high-k/III-V interface based on Hall effect measurements

In this work, we propose a method to quantify the density of interfacial states at the oxide/semiconductor interface using only Hall concentration and low frequency capacitance-voltage data. We discuss the advantages of the proposed method over commonly used admittance techniques in characterizing highly disordered interfaces between the high-k dielectric and high mobility substrates. This gated Hall method is employed to characterize high-k/IIIV interface quality in metal-oxide semiconductor high electron mobility transistor structures with high mobility InGaAs channels.
