We calculate the electron mobility in Si and Ge inversion layers in single-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors. Scattering with bulk phonons, surface roughness and remote phonons is included in the mobility calculations. Various high-kappa dielectric materials are considered for both Si and Ge substrates. Overall, Ge outperforms Si, but in general Ge is more affected by the use of high-kappa dielectrics. HfO2 degrades the mobility substantially compared to SiO2 for Si substrates and may prohibitively degrade performance. HfO2 with Ge yields an improvement over Si with a mobility enhancement approximate to 3x at an electron sheet density of 1 x 10(13) cm(-3).
