MoS₂ FETs with high-k dielectrics have attracted much attention in ultimate scaled device research because of its natural thin body without dangling bonds ideally. However, both defects such as sulfur vacancy in MoS₂ and dangling bonds on the high-k oxide surface might severely degrade the MoS₂/high-k interface. In order to elucidate the underlying physical origin for the interface degradation, the C-V measurement is the powerful tool because the time constant and the energy distribution of interface states (D_it) can be determined. However, unless quantum capacitance (C_Q) of monolayer MoS₂ is correctly extracted experimentally, the energy distribution of D_it cannot be determined. In this work, interface states are systematically evaluated as a function of E_F with the help of temperature-dependent C_Q extraction in order to elucidate the physical origin for the interface degradation.
