In this paper, β-Ga_(2)O_(3) MOS capacitors were fabricated with ALD deposited Al_(2)O_(3) using H_(2)O or ozone(O_(3)) as precursors. Compared with the Al_(2)O_(3) gate dielectric with H_(2)O as ALD precursor, the leakage current for the O_(3) precursor case is decreased by two orders of magnitude, while it keeps the same level at the fixed charges, interface state density, and border traps. The SIMS tests show that Al_(2)O_(3) with O_(3) as precursor contains more carbon impurities. The current transport mechanism analysis suggests that the C–H complex in Al_(2)O_(3) with O_(3) precursor serves as deep energy trap to reduce the leakage current. These results indicate that the Al_(2)O_(3)/β-Ga_(2)O_(3)MOS capacitor using the O_(3) precursor has a low leakage current and holds potential for application in β-Ga_(2)O_(3) MOSFETs.展开更多
