abstract = {III–V nitrides are interesting materials for a very wide
variety of electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this
study, their interaction with GdScO3 (GSO), a ternary rare
earth oxide, is investigated for MOS applications.We compare
pulsed laser deposited amorphous and crystalline epitaxial
GdScO3 in terms of their band alignment with the underlying
GaN substrate and the resulting electrical characteristics
of the MOS stack. The crystal structure of GdScO3 and GaN is
investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, showing that
crystalline oxide is growing epitaxially on GaN. X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy analysis shows a staggered band
alignment with a GdScO3-GaN valence band offset of 3.6–3.7
eV, which is reflected in a very asymmetric current-voltage
behaviour of the MOS capacitors: breakdown at positive bias,
significantly earlier for the crystalline oxide (around
5MV/cm) compared to the amorphous oxide (around 8MV/cm), and
no breakdown up to a field of 14 MV/cm at negative bias.
Transmission electron microscopy images show a crystalline,
two-atom thick interface layer between GaN and both
crystalline and amorphous GdScO3, which is thought to be an
electron barrier between GSO and GaN and a possible source
of the staggered band alignment. The electrical behaviour
can be exploited for asymmetric nano-electronic devices.
