    Abstract

    The interfacial and electrical characteristics of as-deposited or annealed A2 O3 gate dielectric films grown on fully depleted SiGe-on-insulator are investigated. An interfacial layer composed of Si Ox and Ge Ox is observed in the as-grown film. The interfacial silicate formation is effectively suppressed by Ge Ox formation. However, Ge Ox is reduced to Ge and extensive silicate formation occurs after annealing. The formation of silicate and disappearance of Ge Ox after annealing leads to a decrease in the density of the interfacial states. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
