METHODS FOR REMOVING A NATIVE OXIDE LAYER FROM GERMANIUM SUSBTRATES IN THE FABRICATION OF INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
Abstract:
Methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided in various exemplary embodiments. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating an integrated circuit includes providing a germanium-based semiconductor substrate comprising a GeOx layer formed thereon having a first thickness, removing a portion of the GeOx layer by exposing the semiconductor substrate to a hydrogen-plasma dry etch so as to reduce the first thickness of the GeOx layer to a second thickness, and depositing a high-k material over the GeOx layer of the semiconductor substrate.
