The electrical characteristics of the Al2O3/GaN metal–insulator–semiconductor capacitors are investigated focusing on effect post-deposition annealing (PDA) in O2 ambient. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses reveal that gallium oxynitride (GaOx Ny) interfacial layer is formed at interface even non-annealed sample due to incorporation released oxygen from Al2O3. After PDA ambient, GaOx Ny becomes oxygen-rich which plays a role increasing negative effective oxide charge and hence...

The efficient and stable production of therapeutic proteins in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells hinges on robust cell line development (CLD).
