Popis: The interfacial density of states (Dit) distribution of high-κ dielectric Ga2O3(Gd2O3) [GGO] directly deposited on n-type Ge(100) without invoking any interfacial passivation layer (IPL) was established using conductance measurements and charge pumping (CP) technique. The conductance measurements yielded Dit values in the range of (1–4)×1011 cm-2 eV-1 from the mid-gap energy to the conduction band edge within the Ge band gap, which are consistent with the mean Dit value of ~2×1011 cm-2 eV-1 near the mid-gap obtained independently by the CP method. The flat Dit distribution at the conduction band edge compares favorably with those attained using IPLs such as SiO2/Si-cap and GeO2.
