III-Sb Interfaces with High-k Oxides: Science and Technology of Novel MOSFET Gate StackSerge Oktyabrsky, SUNY at Albany, DMR 1006253 TEM micrograph and EDX profile of GaSb/InAs/Al2O3/Ni gate stack confirming the presence of InAs. • Interface engineering has resulted in significant improvement of the GaSb/Al2O3 interface for high-mobility MOSFET. An epitaxial thin 2nm InAs capping layer on (In)GaSb channel was demonstrated: • to improve channel mobility by about 20%, • to reduce interface trap density by a factor of 5, and • was demonstrated as an etch-stop layer for gate-last process flow with Chlorine-based plasma.

Broader Impacts of the NSF ProjectSerge Oktyabrsky, SUNY at Albany, DMR 1006253 • Three PhD students were directly involved in the project (one directly funded by NSF). • One of the students (P. Nagaiah) graduated with PhD in May 2011 and got a job at GlobalFoundries (Malta, NY) • In 2011/12 the results were presented within teleconferences, workshops and seminars to companies and organizations: Intel, Sematch, SRC, and conferences: 8th International Symposium on Advanced Gate Stack Technology (ISAGST) ,October 19, 2011, Bolton Landing, NY; International Semiconductor Device Research Symposium (ISDRS), December 8, 2011, College Park, MD; 39th Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces (PCSI-29), January 22-26, 2012, Santa Fe, NM. • Community outreach activities were contributed by the students and staff supported by this project: 'NANOvember,' CNSE Community Days, ‘Nanocarrier days’. NANOvember 2011: CNSE students assist the attendees with hands-on activities and demonstra-tions at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex CNSE provided more than 300 elementary, middle- and high-school students from upstate New York with an inside look at the exciting world of nanotechnology at NanoCareer Day at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex on May 9, 2012
