Title: | Improved interfacial and electrical properties of HfLaON gate dielectric Ge MOS capacitor by NbON/Si dual passivation layer and fluorine incorporation | Authors: | Huang, Y Xu, JP Liu, L Lai, PT Tang, WM |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | Applied physics letters, 2016, v. 109, no. 19, 193504, p. 193504-1-193504-5 | Abstract: | Ge metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor with HfLaON/(NbON/Si) stacked gate dielectric and fluorine-plasma treatment is fabricated, and its interfacial and electrical properties are compared with its counterparts without the Si passivation layer or the fluorine-plasma treatment. The experimental results show that the HfLaON/(NbON/Si) Ge MOS device treated by fluorine plasma exhibits excellent performance: low interface-state density (4.3 × 1011 cm-2 eV-1), small flatband voltage (0.22 V), good capacitance-voltage behavior, small frequency dispersion and low gate leakage current (4.18 × 10-5 A/cm2 at Vg = Vfb + 1 V). These should be attributed to the suppressed growth of unstable Ge oxides on the Ge surface during gate-dielectric annealing by the NbON/Si dual interlayer and fluorine incorporation, thus reducing the defective states at/near the NbSiON/Ge interface and improving the electrical properties of the device. | Publisher: | American Institute of Physics | Journal: | Applied physics letters | ISSN: | 0003-6951 | EISSN: | 1077-3118 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.4967186 | Rights: | © 2016 Author(s).
