Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Currently, it is reported that the Ge surface oxidation through the thin Al2O3 layer using oxygen plasma (post plasma oxidation) realizes a low interface state density (Dit) with the formation of the extremely thin GeOx interfacial layer. However, the reaction mechanism at the Al2O3/Ge interface with the post oxidation and the correlation between the interface structure and property have not been enough understood yet. In this study, we clarified the reaction mechanism of the post thermal oxidation of the Al2O3/Ge structure and discussed the correlation between the interface structure and property. The Al6Ge2O13 layer which is a stable AlGeO compound was preferentially formed near the Al2O3/Ge interface and the GeO2 layer was also formed on the Al2O3 surface with Ge or GeO diffusion into or through the Al2O3 layer. It is also found that the activation energy of the Al6Ge2O13 formation estimated to be 0.20 eV was lower than that of the GeO2 formation which is limited by the oxygen diffusion in the Al2O3 layer. Furthermore, it is found that Dit around the midgap of Ge decreases with the formation of the AlGeO near the Al2O3/Ge interface. Therefore, the formation of AlGeO near Al2O3/Ge interface is one of the important keys for further improvement of the interface property.
