The physical origins of the mobility enhancement in Ge p-channel metal-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistors (p-MISFETs) with Si passivation layers (PLs) have been systematically investigated. This was done through a comparison between simulated gate-to-channel capacitance versus gate voltage (Cgc-Vg) curves and measured Cgc-Vg curves to estimate carrier distributions at the insulator/Si/Ge interfaces, and mobility measurements at various temperatures to clarify scattering mechanisms of holes in the Ge inversion layers. It was found, from the comparison of the Cgc-Vg curves, that the channels are mainly formed at the Si/Ge interfaces by inserting the Si PLs, and not the insulator/Si interfaces. It was revealed, in the high effective field (Eeff) region, that the reduction in surface roughness scattering due to the change in the channel region from the insulator/Si interfaces to the Si/Ge interfaces has a significant contribution to the mobility enhancement. It was also found in the low Eeff reg...
