Abstract :
The first demonstration of implant-free, flatband-mode In0.75Ga0.25As channel n-MOSFETs is reported. These 1 mum gate length MOSFETs, fabricated on a structure with average mobility of 7720 cm /Vs and sheet carrier concentration of 3.3 times 10 cm-2 , utilise a Pt gate, a high-k dielectric (k sime 20), and a delta-doped InAlAs/InGaAs/InAlAs heterostructure. The devices have a typical maximum drive current (Id,sat) of 933 muA/mum, extrinsic transconductance (gm) of 737 muS/mum, gate leakage (Ig) of 40 pA, and on-resistance (Ron) of 555 Omega .mum. The gm and Ron figures of merit are the best reported to date for any III-V MOSFET.
