ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1149/1.2986827 | Abstract: | A post-gate CF4-plasma treatment process is proposed and demonstrated on Ge MOS devices and the effects of F incorporation have been extensively studied on both high-k/Ge gate stacks without any surface passivation and with Si surface passivation. Our results show that: (1) F is effectively introduced into the gate stack by CF4 treatment and segregates near high-k/Ge interface; (2) Electrical characteristics like D it, gate leakage, C-V hysteresis and breakdown voltage are improved after F incorporation; (3) Post-gate CF4 treatment is also compatible with pre-gate surface passivation, and it can further enhance the device performance. By combining Si surface passivation and post-gate CF4 treatment, interface quality has been greatly improved for high-k/Ge gate stack and a high peak hole mobility of 376 cm4/Vs has been achieved for Ge pMOSFETs. ©The Electrochemical Society. | Source Title: | ECS Transactions | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/83699 | ISBN: | 9781566776561 | ISSN: | 19385862 | DOI: | 10.1149/1.2986827 |
