Deep Centers at the Interface in In2xGa2(1–x)Te3/InAs and In2Te3/InAs Heterostructures

Resumo

The methods of admittance, I–V, and C–V characteristics are used to investigate In_2xGa_2(1–x)Te₃/InAs and In₂Te₃/InAs heterostructures obtained by the technologies of quasi-closed volume and deposition. The spectrum of the distribution of local energy levels at the interface is established. A new acceptor center with an energy of 0.36 eV alongside the known donor level with an energy of 0.5 eV is found by the method of admittance. The acceptor-center concentration N_t depends on the method of fabrication and technological modes. The kinetics of generation–recombination processes in the temperature range of 70–400 K does not affect the insulating properties of the In₂Te₃ or In_2xGa_2(1–x)Te₃ (x ≈ 0.65) dielectric layer; therefore, the possibility of their use as heterostructures for field-effect transistors is demonstrated.
