Notes:
A stable GaS passivating layer was deposited on GaAs using α-Ga2S3 powder as a single-source precursor. Both good crystal quality and clean GaS/GaAs interface were achieved. Electron-energy-loss spectra showed that the sulfide material has a band gap of 3.0 eV. The valence band discontinuity of the heterostructure was determined to be 1.9 eV from a series of ultraviolet photoelectron spectra with increasing deposition thickness. Al/GaS/GaAs metal-insulator-semiconductor structures exhibited typical high frequency capacitor versus voltage (C–V) behavior with very small loop hysteresis. The C–V curves showed no aging after 20 months. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
