Characteristics of the metal insulator semiconductor structure:AlN/Si

Single‐crystal AlN layers have been grown on Si substrates at ∼1200 °C using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The metal/AlN/Si MIS structures have been investigated by the MIS conductance method. It was found that the interface‐state density Nss and electron capture cross section σn in the depletion region are of the order of 1011 eV−1 cm−2 and 10−17 cm, respectively.
