This study presents a comprehensive spectroscopic and impedance-based analysis of a Au/Ti/AlN/n-Si metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) heterostructure, focusing on its frequency- and temperature-dependent electrical and dielectric behavior. The AlN interlayer, synthesized via hydride vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE), was electrically characterized through admittance spectroscopy across a wide temperature range (100–350 K) and multiple frequencies (100, 500, and 1 MHz). Capacitance–voltage (C–V) and conductance–voltage (G/ω–V) measurements revealed strong dispersion effects, particularly at low frequencies and temperatures, where interfacial trap states and dipolar relaxation dominate the response. A negative capacitance behavior was observed under a reverse bias at low frequencies. Series resistance (Rs) analysis confirmed a transition from trap-limited to bulk-controlled conduction with increasing frequency. Dielectric parameters, including real and imaginary permittivity, loss tangent, AC conductivity, and electric modulus components, exhibited a thermally activated and frequency-sensitive behavior, highlighting the interplay between dipolar alignment, trap reconfiguration, and energy dissipation. These findings provide critical insight into the interfacial physics of AlN/Si systems and establish a robust framework for optimizing AlN-based MIS devices for high-frequency, high-temperature microelectronic and optoelectronic applications.
