    Abstract

    With research on high-k gate dielectric for VLSI applications, Ge has been attractive for alternative channel material due to its high electron and hole mobility [1, 2]. Furthermore, Ge substrate is also a potential choice for supply voltage scaling down to meet ITRS requirements [3]. Recently, mobility enhancements of germanium pMOSFETs have been demonstrated by using Ge oxynitride, ultra-thin ZrO2 and A12O3 [4-6]. W.P. Bai also reported high quality Ge MOS-C with HfO2 [7]. However, the material property of MOCVD HfO2 on Ge is not well-known yet, neither the performance of MOSFETs. In this work, we report our findings along the device fabrication as well as the well-behaved pMOSFET transistor characteristics.
