Influence of post-deposition annealing on interfacial properties between GaN and ZrO2 grown by atomic layer deposition by Ye, Gang, Wang, Hong, Ng, Serene Lay Geok, Ji, Rong, Arulkumaran, Subramaniam, Ng, Geok Ing, Li, Yang, Liu, Zhi Hong, Ang, Kian Siong

“…It has been found that Ga-O bond to Ga-N bond area ratio decreases in the samples annealed at temperatures lower than 500 °C, which could be attributed to the thinning of GaOx layer associated with low surface defect states due to “clean up” effect of ALD-ZrO2 on GaN. …”
