Effects of silicon nitride diffusion barrier on germanium MOS capacitors with HfON gate dielectrics

MOS capacitors with hafnium oxynitride (HfON) gate dielectrics were fabricated on Ge and Si substrates using the RF reactive magnetron sputtering method. A large amount of fixed charges and interface traps exist at the Ge/HfON interface. HRTEM and XPS analyses show that Ge oxides were grown and diffused into HfON after post metal annealing. A Si nitride interfacial layer was inserted between Ge and HfON as diffusion barrier. Using this method, well behaved capacitance-voltage and current-voltage characteristics were obtained. Finally hystereses are compared under different process conditions and possible causes are discussed.

Effects of Sulfur Passivation on Germanium MOS Capacitors With HfON Gate Dielectric

In this letter, we study the effects of sulfur (S) passivation, using aqueous ammonium sulfide ((NH₄)₂S), on germanium (Ge) MOS capacitors with sputtered HfON as gate dielectric and TaN as metal-gate electrode. Compared with control samples, the S passivation can effectively reduce both equivalent oxide thickness and interface-state density. X-ray-photoelectron-spectroscopy analysis shows that (NH₄)₂S treatment can reduce the Ge-O bonds on Ge surface. The thermal stability of the S passivation under different postmetal-annealing temperatures was also examined, and it was found that samples with (NH₄)₂S treatment exhibit stable Ge/high-fc interface upon 550-deg C postmetal-deposition annealing, whereas interface quality degrades for those samples without S passivation.     

Electrical characteristics of Ge MOS device on Si substrate with thermal SiON as gate dielectric

Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices, using a Si substrate and a thermal SiON film as the gate dielectric on a Ge layer, have been physically and electrically characterized. The small frequency dispersion and negligible hysteresis demonstrate very few oxide traps. The efficiency of Ge surface passivation is evidenced by the acceptable interface trap density of 7.08 × 10¹¹ cm⁻² eV⁻¹ close to midgap, which is critical for the enhancement of the carrier mobility in MOSFET devices. On the other hand, for the thermal SiON film, a higher permittivity of 4.86 can be achieved by NH₃ nitridation and a subsequent N₂O treatment of an as-grown SiO₂ film without compromising its leakage current. The conduction mechanism is confirmed to be Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) tunneling with extracted electron barrier height of 2.71 eV. Combining with these promising properties, the SiON film shows a great potential to further boost the performance of Ge MOSFETs. Most importantly, without using a Ge substrate, the SiON film on a Ge layer can be formed by the process fully compatible with incumbent ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) technology, and hence, providing an economic way of fabricating high-performance Ge MOSFETs.     

Investigation on interracial and electrical properties of Ge MOS capacitor with different NH3-plasma treatment procedure

The effects of different NH3-plasma treatment procedures on interracial and electrical properties of Ge MOS capacitors with stacked gate dielectric of HfTiON/TaON were investigated.The NH3-plasma treatment was performed at different steps during fabrication of the stacked gate dielectric,i.e.before or after interlayer (TaON)deposition,or after deposition ofhigh-k dielectric (HfTiON).It was found that the excellent interface quality with an interface-state density of 4.79 × 1011 eV-1cm-2 and low gate leakage current (3.43 × 10-5 A/cm2 at Vg =1 V) could be achieved for the sample with NH3-plasma treatment directly on the Ge surface before TaON deposition.The involved mechanisms are attributed to the fact that the NH3-plasma can directly react with the Ge surface to form more Ge-N bonds,i.e.more GeOxNy,which effectively blocks the inter-diffusion of elements and suppresses the formation of unstable GeOx interfacial layer,and also passivates oxygen vacancies and dangling bonds near/at the interface due to more N incorporation and decomposed H atoms from the NH3-plasma.
