AbstractHigh- k and wide-bandgap Y2 O3 was proposed as an interlayer in n-Ge metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor with HfTiO gate dielectric for passivating its dielectric/Ge interface, and thus improving its electrical properties and high-field reliability. Results showed that as compared to the Ge MOS capacitor with HfTiO dielectric, the sample with HfTiO/ Y2 O3 dielectric had better electrical properties such as higher dielectric constant (k=24.4), lower interface-state density, and less frequency-dependent C-V dispersion, and also better reliability with less increases in gate leakage and interface states after high-field stressing. This should be attributed to the excellent interfacial quality of Y2 O3 /Ge with no appreciable growth of unstable GeOx at the interface as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, Y 2 O3 can also act as a barrier against the diffusions of Ge, Hf, and Ti, thus further improving the interface quality. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
