Abstract
The as-grown single crystalline Gd2 O3 thin film on Si(100) substrate suffers from flatband voltage instability and large hysteresis which are possibly due to the intrinsic dangling bonds induced by the existing binding mismatch at the Gd2 O3 Si (100) interface. The instability of flatband voltage and hysteresis of Pt Gd2 O3 Si and W Gd2 O3 Si structures can be fully eliminated by the introduction of traditional forming gas annealing with proper process optimization. Both optimized metal-oxide-semiconductor structures show negligible hysteresis with the interface state at the magnitude order of 1011 cm2 eV at the midgap of silicon and can be considered for the future of complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices.
