摘要
Well-behaved Ge n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors on (001) substrates with dispersion-free, high on/off ratio, and high peak mobility are demonstrated. The interface trap density is effectively reduced down to 5 x 10(11) cm(-2) eV(-1) near midgap by GeO2 passivation using rapid thermal oxidation, resulting in high peak mobility of similar to 1050 cm(2)/Vs. The fast roll-off of the mobility at high electric field is probably due to the large surface roughness scattering. By applying uniaxial < 110 > tensile strain (0.08%) on < 110 > channel direction, the best mobility enhancement (12%) can be achieved. The calculated strain responses with proper stress configurations are consistent with experimental results. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3604417]
