A metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure containing an HfO2/SiO2 stack tunnel layer, isolated Germanium (Ge) nanocrystals, and an HfO2 capping layer, was obtained by an electron-beam evaporation method. A high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) study revealed that uniform and pronounced Ge nanocrystals had formed after annealing. Raman spectroscopy provided evidence for the formation of Ge-Ge bonds and the optimal annealing temperature for the crystallization ratio of the Ge. The electric properties of the MIS structure were characterized by capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) measurements at room temperature. Negative photoconductivity was observed when the structure was under a forward bias, which screened the bias voltage, resulting in a decrease in the current at a given voltage and a negative shift in flat band voltage. A relatively high stored charge density of 3.27 x 10(12) cm 2 was also achieved.
通过电子束蒸发法制备了一种金属-绝缘体-半导体(MIS)结构,该结构包含HfO2/SiO2堆叠隧道层、孤立的锗(Ge)纳米晶体和HfO2覆盖层。高分辨率透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)研究表明,退火后形成了均匀且明显的Ge纳米晶体。拉曼光谱为Ge-Ge键的形成以及Ge结晶率的最佳退火温度提供了证据。在室温下通过电容-电压(C-V)和电流-电压(I-V)测量对MIS结构的电学性质进行了表征。当结构处于正向偏压下时观察到负光电导,这屏蔽了偏压,导致给定电压下电流减小和平带电压负移。还实现了相对较高的3.27×10(12) cm 2的存储电荷密度。
