摘要
We systematically investigated the effect of post-deposition-annealing (PDA) on the electrical characteristics of Ge MOS capacitors with hafnium-oxynitride gate dielectric. The higher PDA temperature and longer PDA time was found to obtain the lower equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of HfO xNy/Ge gate stack, however, with a larger hysteresis width. A lower EOT of 19.5 Å with a low leakage current of 1.8 × 10-5A/cm2 at VG = -1V was achieved after 600 °C annealing for 5 min. The improved capacitor properties after the PDA may be closely related to the different compositions and thicknesses of the resultant interfacial layers.
