Özet
In this study, an Al/TeO2/p-Si metal/oxide/semiconductor (MOS) structure was fabricated using tellurium oxide (TeO2) via thermal evaporation. The tellurium oxide layer coated on the p-Si oxide substrate was examined by X-ray diffraction, the formation of both TeO2 and Te2O5 oxide layers was observed, and the orientations of the related structures were determined. The electrical characterization of the Al/TeO2/p-Si (MOS) structure was performed at room temperature under dark conditions using current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. The ideality factor (n) was found to be 1.55, with a zero-bias barrier height (Φ
B) of 0.76 eV as determined from I-V characteristics. Deviations from ideality were attributed to oxide interfacial films at the Al/p-Si junction, interfacial state distributions, and the high series resistance in the neutral region of the p-Si semiconductor layer. The Norde and Cheung methods were employed to analyze the series resistance. Additionally, frequency-dependent variations in C-V and conductance-voltage were analyzed for the Al/TeO2/p-Si (MOS) structure. Comparative analysis with existing literature supports the conclusion that tellurium oxide (TeO2) holds promise as an alternative to silicon oxide in device technology.
