摘要
Electrostatic potential distribution of Al2O3/Ge structure is investigated vs. Al2O3 thickness by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrostatic potential distribution is found to be Al2O3 thickness dependent. This interesting phenomenon is attributed to the appearance of gap states on Al2O3 surface (GS(Al2O3)) and its higher charge neutrality level (CNL) compared with the CNL of gap states at Al2O3/Ge interface (GS(Al2O3)/Ge), leading to electron transfer from GS(Al2O3) to GS(Al2O3/Ge). In the case of thicker Al2O3, fewer electrons transfer from GS(Al2O3) to GS(Al2O3)/Ger resulting in a larger potential drop across Al2O3 and XPS results. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
