Thermally induced permittivity enhancement in La-doped ZrO2 grown by atomic layer deposition on Ge(100). Lamagna, L., Wiemer, C., Baldovino, S., Molle, A., Perego, M., Schamm-Chardon, S., Coulon, P. E., & Fanciulli, M. Applied Physics Letters, 95(12):122902, September, 2009. WOS:000270243800050

La-doped ZrO2 thin films grown by O-3-based atomic layer deposition directly on Ge(100) exhibit a dielectric constant of 29. Upon annealing in N-2 at 400 degrees C, a high kappa value \textgreater40 is extracted for film thickness below 15 nm. Compositional depth profiling allows to correlate this observation with a remarkable Ge interdiffusion from the substrate which is consistent with the stabilization of the tetragonal ZrO2 phase. Ge interaction with the oxide stack and the formation of a germanate-like interfacial region, which acts as an electrical passivation for the Ge surface, are also investigated.
