摘要: High-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation (energy resolution of 50meV) is used to investigate interfacial properties Ge∕GeOx (1nm)∕HfO2 (1nm) gate stacks. With soft x rays, a reliable Ge3d core-level study possible thanks the much lower cross section Hf5p core level than that using AlKα radiation. It clearly shown Hf-germanate bonding states are formed at GeOx∕HfO2 interface, an additional spectral component shifted binding energy relative GeO2.
