Insulator-compound semiconductor interface structure

摘要

An insulator-compound semiconductor interface structure is disclosed including compound semiconductor material with a spacer layer of semiconductor material having a bandgap which is wider than the bandgap of the compound semiconductor material positioned on a surface of the compound semiconductor material and an insulating layer positioned on the spacer layer. Minimum and maximum thicknesses of the spacer layer are determined by the penetration of the carrier wave function into the spacer layer and by the desired device performance. In a specific embodiment, the interface structure is formed in a multi-wafer epitaxial production system including a transfer and load module with a III-V growth chamber attached and an insulator chamber attached.
