Abstract

Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors with CeO2 gate dielectrics were fabricated. The lowest interface trap density (Dit) of CeO2∕Si interface in comparison with other high-κ gated diodes is 1.47×1012cm−2eV−1 due to the very low lattice mismatch of CeO2∕Si. The interfacial properties were characterized by gated-diode measurements. The surface recombination velocity (s0) and the minority carrier lifetime in the field-induced depletion region (τ0,FIJ) measured from the gated diodes are about 1.03×104cm∕s and 2.73×10−8s, respectively. The effective capture cross section of surface state (σs) extracted using the gated diode technique and the subthreshold swing measurement is about 8.68×10−15cm2.
