Schottky source/drain (S/D) Ge-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) were fabricated by combining high permittivity (high-k) gate stacks with ultrathin AlOx interlayers and Fermi level depinning process by means of phosphorous ion implantation into NiGe/Ge contacts. Improved thermal stability of the metal/high-k/Ge stacks enabled self-aligned integration scheme for Schottky S/D complementary MOS applications. Significantly reduced parasitic resistance and aggressively scaled high-k gate stacks with sub-1-nm equivalent oxide thickness were demonstrated for both p-and n-channel Schottky Ge-FETs with the proposed combined technology.
