AbstractGermanium and hafnium-dioxide (HfO2) stack structures' physical and electrical properties were studied based on the comparison of germanium and silicon based metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors' electrical properties. In germanium MOS capacitor with oxide/oxynitride interface layer, larger negative flat-band-voltage (Vfb) shift compared with silicon based MOS capacitors was observed. Secondary ion mass spectrum (SIMS) characteristics of HfO2-germanium stack structure with germanium oxynitride (GeON) interfacial layer showed germanium out diffusion into HfO2. These results indicate that the germanium out diffusion into HfO2 would be the origin of the germanium originated negative Vfb shift. Using Ta3N5 layer as a germanium passivation layer, reduced Vfb shift and negligible hysteresis were observed. These results suggest that the selection of passivation layer strongly influences the electrical properties of germanium based MOS devices.

We report on the harmful impact of ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on thermally grown SiO2/4H-SiC(0001) structures and its use in subsequent thermal annealing for improving electrical properties of SiC-MOS devices. As we previously reported [1], significant UV-induced damage, such as positive flatband voltage shift and hysteresis in capacitance-voltage curves as well as increased interface state density, was observed for SiC-MOS devices with thermally grown oxides. Interestingly, the subsequent annealing of damaged SiO2/SiC samples resulted in superior electrical properties to those for untreated (fresh) devices. These findings imply that UV irradiation of the SiO2/SiC structure is effective for eliciting pre-existing carbon-related defects and transforming them into a simple configuration that can be easily passivated by thermal treatment.
