The impact of thermal post deposition annealing in oxygen at different temperatures on the Ge/Y2O3 interface is investigated using metal oxide semiconductor capacitors, where the yttrium oxide was grown by atomic layer deposition from tris(methylcyclopentadienyl)yttrium and H2O precursors on n-type (100)-Ge substrates. By performing in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the growth of GeO during the first cycles of ALD was proven and interface trap densities just below 1 × 1011 eV−1 cm−2 were achieved by oxygen annealing at high temperatures (550 °C–600 °C). The good interface quality is most likely driven by the growth of interfacial GeO2 and thermally stabilizing yttrium germanate.
