Abstract
A high peak hole mobility of 412 cm 2 /V-sec at Ninv=1.8×10 12 cm -2 , a very low Jg of ∼10 -4 A/cm 2 at V g =V fb +1 V and an ultralow EOT of 0.53 nm in Ge pMOSFETs are simultaneously achieved by high-k/0D-HKVGe02 gate stack with suitable treatments. The content of Ge +1 and Ge +2 in GeO x layer are re-oxidized to higher oxidation state by gettered oxygen, which is captured by OD-HfOx from GeO x . The proposed gate stack is promising for Ge MOSFET.
