Additional information

This paper summarises the key results of the germanium MOS gate stack development carried out as part of the EPSRC-funded GEMS contract (EP/E030130/1), which included Oxford Instruments and IceMOS Technology Ltd as industrial partners. Both Al2O3 and HfO2 high-K dielectrics, deposited by atomic layer deposition, are characterised using detailed electrical measurements, before and after post-metal anneals. The use of an interfacial GeON layer enhanced the thermal stability of Al2O3-based gate stacks. The GeON layer is conveniently produced by in-situ plasma nitridation in the ALD reactor.
