摘要: Abstract The dominant key to achieve superior Ge surface passivation by GeO x interfacial layer is investigated based on ozone oxidation. interface state density ( D it ) measured from low temperature conduction method found decrease with increasing the thickness (0.26–1.06 nm). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) employed demonstrate structure of /Ge different thicknesses. And XPS results show that 3+ oxide component responsible due effective dangling bonds. Therefore, formation for gate stacks. Our work confirms same physical mechanism determines regardless oxidation methods grow layer. As a result, explore growth process can realize sufficient in interlayer as thin possible important both equivalent scaling and property simultaneously. This conclusion helpful engineer optimization
