Abstract We investigate negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) on high performance Ge p?channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (pMOSFETs) with low-temperature Si2H6 passivation. The Ge pMOSFETs exhibit an effective hole mobility of 311 cm2/V?s at an inversion charge density of 2.5×1012 cm?2. NBTI characterization is performed to investigate the linear transconductance (GM, lin) degradation and threshold voltage shift (ΔVTH) under NBT stress. Ge pMOSFETs with a 10 yr lifetime at an operating voltage of -0.72 V are demonstrated. The impact of the Si2H6 passivation temperature is studied. As the passivation temperature increases from 350°C to 550°C, the degradation of NBTI characteristics, e.g., GM, lin loss, ΔVTH and an operating voltage for a lifetime of 10 yr, is observed.
