Abstract

The electrical and dielectric characteristics as series resistance (Rs), dielectric constant (ε∋), dielectric loss (ε∀) and dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) of the Au/SiO2/n-GaAs (MOS) structures with different oxide thickness have been investigated in room temperature at 1 MHz. Applied voltage and oxide thickness dependence of these structure investigated by using experimental capacitance (C) and conductance (G/w) measurements in the applied voltage (-3 to 1,5 V) and oxide thickness (130-240 Å) range. Experimental results show that, while the capacitance values decrease with increasing oxide layer thickness, series resistance values increases. Also the change in Gm/w curves with interfacial oxide layer thickness is slight. While the capacitance values decrease parabolic with increasing interfacial oxide layer thickness the series resistance values increase linearly. The ε∋ values decreases rapidly at above 1 V, ε∀ and tanδ decreases rapidly.
