摘要: The YGeOx enjoys a low interface trap density of 2.1i?1011cm-2eV-1.Low leakage current 3.1i?10-10A/cm2 at the effective electric field 1MV/cm.13mV flatband voltage shift for BTI test under 10MV/cm 8000s 85?C. formed by thermal oxidation Y/Ge structure was confirmed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and its eligibility as passivation layer Ge MOS devices explored in this work. Because nature process that effectively suppresses dielectric structural defects incorporates sufficient Y atoms to well passivate dangling bonds on surface; small amount oxide traps (Dit) 2.1i?1011cm-2eV-1. In addition, thermally grown demonstrates relatively high constant 10.8 compared GeO2, tiny frequency dispersion capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics, 1MV/cm, 13mV (Vfb) bias temperature instability measurement stress condition 85?C, these promising device characteristics attest high-performance technology.
