Abstract

The growth and structural characterization of UHV-compatible LPCVD grown strained-Si layer on linearly graded relaxed SiGe layer and the electrical properties of the high-k ultrathin ZrO2 films deposited on strained-Si layer using microwave-plasma CVD at low temperature (150°C) are reported. The strained-Si layer has been characterized using AFM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy. The C-V and G-V characteristics of ZrO2 films have been used to calculate the interface trap density, Dit, near the midgap energy, and the fixed oxide charge density, Qf/q. These are found to be 2.24 × 1012 cm−2 eV−1 and 1.45 × 1011 cm−2, respectively. Poole-Frenkel (PF) conduction mechanism is found to dominate the current conduction at room temperature.
