To achieve a high-quality high-κ/Ge interfaces for high hole mobility Ge p-MOSFET applications,a simple chemical cleaning and surface passivation scheme is introduced,and Ge p-MOSFETs with effective channel hole mobility up to665 cm2/V·s are demonstrated on a Ge(111) substrate.Moreover,a physical model is proposed to explain the dipole layer formation at the metal–oxide–semiconductor(MOS) interface by analyzing the electrical characteristics of HCl- and(NH4)2S-passivated samples.
