Abstract:Ge metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor with YON/ LaON, as interface passivation layer (IPL), and HfO 2 , as gate dielectric, is proposed to take advantage of both the good passivation effect by LaON and the suppressed intermixing between HfO 2 and Ge by YON. As a result, superior interfacial and electrical properties are obtained, as compared to samples with only YON or LaON as IPL: high k value (19.5), low interface-state density (6.64 Â 10 11 cm À2 eV À1 ) and oxidecharge density (À4.18 Â 10 12 cm À2 )… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
