Abstract

In this study, we successfully investigated Hf-based gate stacks with Ti-GeOx interfacial layer (IL) on a Ge channel p-MOSFET. The results revealed that thicker TiGeOx ILs could reduce interface trap density and leakage current. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses indicated fewer Ge-O bonds and O-Ge-O bonds but more Ti-GeOx bonds when the IL was thicker. Meanwhile, lower leakage current and higher mobility were observed by using Hf-based gate stack with Ti-GeOx IL on a Ge channel p-MOSFET.
