摘要
Deep levels associated with extended and point defects in MOS capacitors fabricated on unintentionally doped GeSn epitaxial layers on Ge-on-Si substrates have been studied by Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS). A 9nm layer of Al2O3 is deposited as high-k gate dielectric by Molecular Beam Epitaxy. The trap kinetics and origin of defect states is discussed. Also, it is shown that the dislocation cores in relaxed p-Ge are associated with band-like donor-like states in the lower half of the band gap, and act as carrier trapping and recombination centers. In addition, slow and fast oxide interface traps are observed.
