Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We have investigated the impact of the gate metal on the chemical bonding state in the metal/Pr-oxide/Ge gate stack structure focusing on the oxygen chemical potential (¦ÌO). The reductive character of gate metal reduces the Pr-oxide film, increasing the ratio of the Pr3+ component in Pr-oxide film. The reductive character of metal also affects on the Pr-oxide/Ge interfacial structure. It leads to the decrease in the areal density of Ge bonding with O (Ge-oxide and/or PrGe-oxide). These reducing reactions can be explained by the low ¦ÌO of metal with reductive character than that of PrO2 formation and GeO2 formation. These results suggest that the selection of gate metal in metal/Pr-oxide/Ge gate stack structure focusing on ¦ÌO is quite important to achieve the thin EOT, attributing to both the formation of the h-Pr2O3 crystalline phase of Pr-oxide and the decrease in the amount of Ge oxides.
