Abstract

<jats:p>We present an overview study of two germanium interface engineering routes, firstly a germanate formation via La<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> and Y<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>, and secondly a barrier layer approach using Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> and Tm<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>. The interfacial composition, uniformity, thickness, band gap, crystallinity, absorption features and valence band offset are determined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultra violet variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The correlation of these results with electrical characterization data make a case for Ge interface engineering with rare-earth inclusion as a viable route to achieve high performance Ge CMOS.</jats:p>
