Abstract
The effects of interfacial nitrogen on the structural and electrical properties of ultrathin ZrO2 gate dielectrics on partially strain-compensated SiGeC/Si heterolayers were investigated. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used for the analysis. The N-treated film had a higher accumulation capacitance, lower leakage current density and higher breakdown field.
