Atomic structure and thermal stability of Ge$$_{3}$$N$$_{4}$$ dielectric layers for advanced Ge-MIS devices were investigated. SR-PES analysis revealed that Ge$$_{3}$$N$$_{4}$$ layers formed by high-density plasma nitridation are thermally stable up to 823 K, while surface oxides selectively decompose at around 773 K. Chemical shift originating from Ge-N bonds (Ge$$^{4+}$$) was also found to be 2.3 eV.
