摘要
High-quality Ge MOS capacitors with HMON as high-k gate dielectric are fabricated by using Ge surface pretreatment in wet NH3, N2O, NO and N-2 ambients. The wet-NO pretreatment is found to be the best for improving the reliability properties of the Ge MOS capacitor, with smallest increases of interface-state density, leakage current and flat-band voltage after electrical stress.
