Abstract :
We report enhancement-mode composite-channel (In0.53Ga0.47As/InAs/In0.53Ga0.47As) MOSFETs fabricated using a substitutional-gate process, with n+ relaxed InAs source-drain regions formed by regrowth by molecular beam epitaxy. A device with 70-nm gate length and 2-nm In0.53Ga0.47As/3.5-nm InAs/3-nm In0.53Ga0.47As channel showed a peak transconductance of greater than 0.76 mS/μm at Vds = 0.4 V and showed Id = 0.5 mA/μm at Vds = 0.4 V and Vgs - Vth = 0.7 V. The subthreshold swing at Vds = 0.1 V was 130 mV/dec.
