Electrical performance of Al/SiNx:H/InP structures has been analysed to determine the effect of the plasma cleaning. The SINx:H insulator layers are deposited at 200 degrees C using an ECR chemical vapour deposition technique. It is observed that a 30 s low-power (60 W) ECR N-2 plasma treatment of InP surface reduces the interface defects and improves the resistivity and breakdown held values of the SiNx:H.
