Abstract
A rapid remote plasma oxidation (RRPO) treatment was applied on the alloy-like oxygen-adsorbing hafnium nitride interfacial layer in Ge nMOSFET device. The sample with a RRPO treatment for 10 s exhibits lower EOT, JG,DIT , S.S. values, narrower frequency dispersion, higher ION/IOFF,ION and Gm values, due to the reduction of border trap and oxygen vacancy.
