Ga2O3(Gd2O3) film as high-k gate dielectric for SiGe MOSFET devices
Dielectric films from gadolinium gallium garnet single crystal were deposited by electron-beam evaporation on strained Si1-xGex/Si layers at 300 K to form high-k metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. The p-Si0.74Ge0.26/Ga2O3(Gd2O3) interface properties were studied through C-V and G-V measurements of the MIS capacitors, which showed encouraging electrical characteristics with oxide k = 12.3 and minimum interface state density Dit of 4.8 × 1011 cm-2eV-1.
