Bu çalışmanın amacı, ara yüzey seviyelerinin ve seri direcin
(R_s) Sc₂O₃ (Skandiyum oksit) MOS (Metal Oksit
Yarıiletken) kapasitörünün elektriksel karakteristiği üzerine etkisini frekansa
bağlı olarak incelemektir. Sc₂O₃ MOS kapasitörü RF
magnetron saçtırma sistemi ile p tipi Si (100) üzerine üretilmiştir. Kapasitörün
kapasitans-voltaj (C-V) ve iletkenlik-voltaj (G/ω-V) değişimleri, 50 kHz ile 1
MHz arasında değişen altı farklı frekansta ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar,
C-V eğrisinin yığılım bölgesinde kapasitans değerlerinin R_s etkisi
nedeniyle beklenenden daha düşük olduğunu göstermiştir. G/ω-V
karakteristiklerinde ise bu etki nedeniyle pikler belirgin bir şekilde
oluşmamıştır. Bu nedenle, ölçüm sonuçlarına R_s düzeltmesi
yapıldıktan sonra, Sc₂O₃/Si ara yüzeyinde oluşan tuzak
yüklerinin elektriksel karakteristik üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Frekansın
azalmasıyla birlikte ara yüzey tuzak yükleri, AC voltaj sinyalini takip ederek
ölçülen kapasitansa katkı sağlamışlardır. Düzeltilmiş C-V ve G/ω-V
ölçümlerinden yararlanılarak p tipi Si için taşıyıcı konsantrasyonu (N_a),
bariyer yüksekliği (Φ_B) ve Fermi seviyesi - değerlik bandı
arasındaki enerji farkı (E_F) değerleri hesaplanmıştır.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of
interface states and series resistance (R_s) on the electrical
characteristic of Sc₂O₃ (Scandium oxide) MOS (Metal Oixde
Semiconductor) capacitor depending on frequency. Sc₂O₃ MOS
capacitor was produced on p type Si (100) with RF magnetron sputtering. Capacitance-voltage
(C-V) and Conductance-voltage (G/ω-V) variations of the capacitor were measured
in six different frequencies ranging from 50 kHz to 1 MHz. The obtained results
showed that the capacitance values in the accumulation region of the C-V curve were
lower than expected due to the R_s effect. The peaks were not clearly
formed due to this effect in the G/ω-V
characteristics. For this reason, the effect of trap charges on the electrical
characteristics of the Sc₂O₃/Si interface was
investigated after R_s correction applied to the experimental
results. The interface trap-charges contributed to the measured capacitance
with decreasing frequency by following the AC voltage signal. The carrier
concentration for p type Si (N_a), barrier height (Φ_B),
and energy difference between the bulk Fermi level and valance band edge (E_F)
values were calculated by using corrected C-V and G/ω-V measurements.
