The appearance of hafnium base high dielectric constant makes the MOSFET of germanium substrate regain people's attention.Compare with silicon, germanium has bigger electronics and hole mobility, and therefore the MOSFET of preparation has higher speed.Germanium is different with hafnium base high dielectric constant interfacial characteristics with silicon with hafnium base high dielectric constant interfacial characteristics.In the heat treatment process after the high dielectric constant deposit, oxygen atom is easy to be diffused into germanium and high dielectric constant and reacts with germanium atom at the interface and generate the oxide of germanium.Different with silicon dioxide, the oxide of germanium contains a large amount of defect states, can produce a large amount of interface fixed charge or interfacial state at the interface.
Therefore, be necessary to seek the performance that a kind of method avoids influencing owing to the generation of the oxide of germanium device.
