  • Patent number: 11114301
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure, and source/drain regions. The gate structure comprises an yttrium oxide layer over the semiconductor substrate, an aluminum oxide layer over the yttrium oxide layer, and a gate electrode on the aluminum oxide layer. The source/drain regions are on the semiconductor substrate and on opposite sides of the gate structure.

  • Patent number: 11081339
    Abstract: A substrate with a (001) orientation is provided. A gallium arsenide (GaAs) layer is epitaxially grown on the substrate. The GaAs layer has a reconstruction surface that is a 4×6 reconstruction surface, a 2×4 reconstruction surface, a 3×2 reconstruction surface, a 2×1 reconstruction surface, or a 4×4 reconstruction surface. Via an atomic layer deposition process, a single-crystal structure yttrium oxide (Y2O3) layer is formed on the reconstruction surface of the GaAs layer. The atomic layer deposition process includes water or ozone gas as an oxygen source precursor and a cyclopentadienyl-type compound as an yttrium source precursor.
