Description | We discovered the best ways to passivate Ge surfaces by oxides, for CMOS devices. The oxides and the interfaces were characterised by our partners Liverpool University. We also published a model for the oxidation of Ge in APL which is different to the standard Deal Grove model of the oxidation on Si. This explains the unusual T and pressure dependence of the oxidation rate. Large scale review article with US author. |
Exploitation Route | From ALD precursor chemicals also studied at Liverpool University. Greater understanding of Ge/GeO2 interface. Recent APL paper gives understanding of why the Ge/GeO2 interface differs from the Si/SiO2 interface, the fundamental interface behind CMOS electronics, is the different diffusion mechanism of O to the interface in GeO2 |
