Abstract:
The influence of oxygen plasma and thermal annealing at 900$^\circ$C on the capacitance-voltage and conductivity-voltage characteristics of $n$-GaAs-(anodic oxide)-metal structures is studied. In contrast to the unannealed structures, high-temperature annealing in Ar for 30 min leads to the emergence of a voltage dependence of the capacitance $(C)$ and conductivity $(G)$. The influence of oxygen plasma on a Ga$_2$O$_3$ film before annealing promotes additional variation in the capacitance-voltage and conductivity-voltage characteristics.
