Capacitance-voltage characteristics of metal-insulator-semiconductor s
tructures of boron nitride on InP have been investigated. The measurem
ents show an overall good capacitance modulation. In accumulation,the
frequency dependence of the capacitance of these diodes is consistentl
y attributed to tunneling-related trapping. Bias-temperature-stress (B
TS) measurements are used to evaluate the density and sign of the ions
which are mobile at 400 K. BTS measurements at 300 K show effects mai
nly attributed to electron injection from the InP into traps located i
n the insulator near the interface.
