Abstract

The poor reliability of GeO2/Ge stack is improved by appropriate cation (e.g. Sc or Y) doping into GeO2 and it is considered to be thanks to the enhancement of GeO2 network rigidity. We discuss the impact of cation doping on structural modulation of GeO2 on Ge substrate in the thermal treatment. By doping a small amount of Y into GeO2, the crystallization of GeO2 from amorphous to α-quartz structure is efficiently suppressed. It is a direct evidence of modulation of GeO2 network rigidity by the cation doping.
