High-k gate stacks on low bandgap tensile strained Ge and GeSn alloys for field-effect transistors.

چکیده
We present the epitaxial growth of Ge and Ge0.94Sn0.06 layers with 1.4% and 0.4% tensile strain, respectively, by reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition on relaxed GeSn buffers and the formation of high-k/metal gate stacks thereon. Annealing experiments reveal that process temperatures are limited to 350 °C to avoid Sn diffusion. Particular emphasis is placed on the electrical characterization of various high-k dielectrics, as 5 nm Al2O3, 5 nm HfO2, or 1 nmAl2O3/4 nm HfO2, on strained Ge and strained Ge0.94Sn0.06. Experimental capacitance-voltage characteristics are presented and the effect of the small bandgap, like strong response of minority carriers at applied field, are discussed via simulations.

Mid-infrared light emission > 3 µm wavelength from tensile strained GeSn microdisks.
GeSn alloys with Sn contents of 8.4 % and 10.7 % are grown pseudomorphically on Ge buffers on Si (001) substrates. The alloys as-grown are compressively strained, and therefore indirect bandgap. Undercut GeSn on Ge microdisk structures are fabricated and strained by silicon nitride stressor layers, which leads to tensile strain in the alloys, and direct bandgap photoluminescence in the 3-5 µm g...
متن کاملOptical transitions in direct bandgap Ge1-xSnx alloys
A comprehensive study of optical transitions in direct bandgap Ge0.875Sn0.125 group IV alloys via photoluminescence measurements as a function of temperature, compressive strain and excitation power is performed. The analysis of the integrated emission intensities reveals a strain-dependent indirect-to-direct bandgap transition, in good agreement with band structure calculations based on 8 band...

We have obtained empirical pseudopotential parameters for α-Sn and employed the pseudopotential method along with the virtual crystal approximation to model GeSn and SiGeSn alloys. The calculated direct and indirect band gaps of GeSn and SiGeSn show good agreement with experimental data at 300K available till date. The derived pseudopotential parameter set was used to extract various band struc...
متن کاملDefect-free high Sn-content GeSn on insulator grown by rapid melting growth
GeSn is an attractive semiconductor material for Si-based photonics. However, large lattice mismatch between GeSn and Si and the low solubility of Sn in Ge limit its development. In order to obtain high Sn-content GeSn on Si, it is normally grown at low temperature, which would lead to inevitable dislocations. Here, we reported a single-crystal defect-free graded GeSn on insulator (GSOI) stripe...

In this paper we investigate the electrical characteristics of a new structure of gate all around strained silicon nanowire field effect transistors (FETs) with dual dielectrics by changing the radius (RSiGe) of silicon-germanium (SiGe) wire and gate dielectric. Indeed the effect of high-κ dielectric on Field Induced Barrier Lowering (FIBL) has been studied. Due to the higher electron mobility ...
