Abstract

Ultra thin higb-k ZrO2 films (14 nm) have been deposited on Germanium at a low temperature (∼150°C) using microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique. Several samples were NO-plasma nitrided before deposition of the high-k films to minimize the surface roughness and interdiffusion of germanium. Using Capacitance-time (C-t) technique the value of bulk generation lifetime from the slope of the Zerbst plot is found to be 11μs for Ge. Conductance method, based on variable frequency C-V and G-V measurements, was used to compare the interface trap density Dit for ZrO2/GeO2/Ge and ZrO2/GeOxN y/Ge MIS capacitors. The calculated doping concentration (N A) from high frequency C-V is calculated to be ∼2×1 15 cm-3.
