Nf. Wang et al., Investigation of low-temperature deposition of silicon dioxide on indium phosphide by liquid phase deposition, JPN J A P 1, 38(10), 1999, pp. 6071-6072
A new low-temperature process (35-45 degrees C)for the deposition of high-q
uality silicon dioxide (SiO2) films on indium phosphide (InP) by liquid pha
se deposition (LPD) is proposed. The LPD-SiO2 film shows good, reliable qua
lity in both physicochemical and electrical properties, which include a low
effective net surface charge density per unit area (Q(ss)/q = 3.1 x 10(11)
cm(-2)), a small leakage current (6.64 pA, at -5 V), and a high dielectric
breakdown strength (6.47 MV/cm), due to the lower deposition temperature.
