摘要：

Electrical characteristics of Ge pMOSFETs with HfO2, ZrO2, ZrO2/HfO2, and HfZrOx gate dielectrics are studied in this letter. A lower equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) is obtained in ZrO2 device, which, however, has a higher interface trap density (D-it) due to its inferior dielectric/Ge interface. Interestingly, the D-it and sub-threshold swing of Ge pMOSFETs are clearly reduced by ZrO2/HfO2 stack gate dielectric. A peak hole mobility of 335 cm(2)/V-s is achieved in ZrO2/HfO2 device thanks to good dielectric/Ge interface. Furthermore, the EOT of ZrO2/HfO2 device is 0.62 nm, and the leakage current is 2 x 10(-3) A/cm(2). Therefore, a ZrO2/HfO2 stack gate dielectric is promising for Ge MOSFETs.
