This is because the thin Ge Ox film formed on Ge by O_2 or Ar plasma is more hydrophilic than Ge Ox Ny formed by N_2 plasma treatment. A flat（RMS 〈 0：5 nm） Ge surface with high hydrophilicity（contact angle smaller than 3°） was achieved by O_2 plasma treatment, showing its promising application in Ge low-temperature direct wafer bonding.展开更多
