摘要: HfO2 films have been deposited by using a tetrakis(dimethylamino)hafnium/H2O atomic layer deposition (ALD) process on GaAs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements show that the HF and NH4OH predeposition surface treatment results in efficient removal of Ga As native oxides. No interface oxidation is detected after 15cycles ALD implying effective passivation GaAs surface. Spectroscopic ellipsometry confirms linear growth at 1.0A∕cycle both starting surfaces, while Rutherford backscattering spectrometry indicates steady-state coverage about 10 cycles. For grown oxide GaAs, complete observed 20
