摘要: Sulfur passivation of Ge(100) is achieved using aqueous ammonium sulfide (NH4)2S(aq). The layer largely preserved after atomic deposition the high-κ dielectric material HfO2 when sufficiently low growth temperatures (e.g., 220°C) are employed. Oxygen incorporation moderate and results in an electrically passivating GeOS interface layer. HfO2∕GeOS∕Ge gate stack exhibits lower fixed charge state density than a more conventional HfO2∕GeON∕Ge fabricated via ammonia gas treatment.
