Interfacing of oxide and semiconductor materials provides a means of coupling unique properties associated with oxide materials to high performance semiconductor devices. To function at low biases to minimize power consumption, such devices must also contain a high-mobility semiconductor and/or a high-capacitance gate oxide. In this work we ovserve the crystal quality and composition of the deposited films with atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrical properties of SiO2/ZnO heterostructure, where SiO2 is used as oxide. Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor structures demonstrate hysteresis characteristic. The metal-SiO2-ZnO capacitor structures demonstrate a characteristic metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitance-voltage (C-V) behaviour with a hysteretic memory window of approximately 0.12 V. The appearance of a broad hysteresis and the significant shift in the flatband voltage indicate the presence of a large number of trapped charges at the interfaces.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Zinc Oxide; Metal Oxide Semiconductor; XPS; RBS; SEM.</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://ijesm.co.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=5417&title=Origin of Hysteresis in Zinc Oxide Based Metal Oxide Semiconductor Films</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
