Transport investigations on ZnO-based MESFETs — •Heiko Frenzel, Alexander Lajn, Holger von Wenckstern, Matthias Brandt, Gisela Biehne, Holger Hochmuth, and Marius Grundmann — Universität Leipzig, Fakultät für Physik und Geowissenschaften, Institut für Experimentelle Physik II, Linnéstr. 5, 04103 Leipzig

Metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs) were fabricated by reactive dc-sputtering of either Ag, Pt, Pd, and Au as Schottky-gate contacts on ZnO thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition on a-plane sapphire substrates. In contrast to ZnO-based metal-insulator field-effect transistors (MISFETs), MESFETs show high dynamics switching within a gate-voltage range of only ±1 V with an on/off-ratio of up to 108 [1]. The channel mobilities are not limited by scattering at the insulator/semiconductor-interface and therefore equal the Hall mobilities of the thin films achieving values up to 27 cm2/Vs. MESFETs comprised of the four most common Schottky metals on ZnO were electrically investigated in a temperature range between 25C and 150C. For Ag, Pt, and Au, the device performance was at least stable until 100C even showing an improvement due to the annealing [2]. Studies of the dependencies on different gate-geometries as well as reliability tests under the influence of light will be presented.
