The impact of postdeposition annealing (PDA) ambient on electrical properties of thin equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) Al2O3/GeOx/Ge gate-stacks is investigated. It is found that the surface states inside the conduction band of Ge are significantly suppressed by 40% through PDA with atomic deuterium ambient. As a result, enhancement of the effective mobility in the Ge nMOSFETs is realized in high normal field region. The electron mobility of 396 cm(2)/Vs is achieved at N-S of 10(13) cm(-2) with small EOT of similar to 1 nm, which is similar to the highest mobility reported so far at such small EOT range.
