Abstract
Ultrahigh-mobility compound semiconductor-based MOSFETs and quantum-well field-effect transistors could enable the next generation of logic transistors operating at low supply voltages since these materials exhibit excellent electron transport properties. While the long-channel In0.53 Ga0.47As MOSFETs exhibit promising characteristics with unpinned Fermi level at the InGaAs-dielectric interface, the high-field channel mobility as well as subthreshold characteristics needs further improvement. In this paper, we present a comprehensive equivalent circuit model that accurately evaluates the experimental small-signal response of inversion layers in In0.53 Ga0.47As MOSFETs fabricated with LaAlO3 gate dielectric and enables accurate extraction of the interface state profile, the trap dynamics, and the effective channel mobility.
