摘要：
A novel method that reveals the spatial distribution of border traps in III-V metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is presented. The increase in transconductance with frequency is explored in a very wide frequency range (1 Hz-70 GHz) and a distributed RC network is used to model the oxide and trap capacitances. An evaluation of vertical InAs nanowire MOSFETs and surface-channel InGaAs MOSFETs with Al2O3/HfO2 high-kappa gate dielectric shows a deep border-trap density of about 10(20) cm(-3) eV(-1) and a near-interfacial trap density of about 10(21) cm(-3) eV(-1). The latter causes an almost steplike increase in transconductance at 1-10 GHz. This demonstrates the importance of high-frequency characterization of high-kappa di-electrics in III-V MOSFETs.
