摘要
We fabricated HfO2-based gate stacks on epi-Si0.5Ge0.5 substrates and investigated the effect of Al capping on TiN. The results revealed that the Al layer formed Al2O3, which functioned as a barrier against external oxygen diffusion, resulting in excellent interface quality. Furthermore, the density of oxide traps and flat-band voltage could be tuned using various ratios of Al to TiN at the top gate. Thus, an excellent interface state density and equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of approximately 8 $\times \,\,10^{{10}}$ eV-1cm-2 and 1.3 nm were achieved for the gate stack on SiGe through Al capping on TiN.
