Abstract :
III-V materials such as In-rich In1-xGaxAs have attracted much attention for low-power applications due to their excellent electron transport properties. To suppress high off-currents in deeply scaled devices, multi-gate MOSFETs (MuGFETs) such as FinFETs, which have improved electrostatic integrity, may be employed [1]. We have previously demonstrated In0.53Ga0.47As FinFETs utilizing selectively regrown nanowires as channel [2]. In this work we report on the next generation of these devices, with increased In-content in the channel, scaled down nanowire dimensions and improved contacts. A record-value of peak transconductance gm, peak = 2.85 mS/um at Vds = 0.5 V and Lg = 52 nm is achieved. We also report on radio-frequency (RF) measurements, with extrapolated cut-off frequency of ft = 281 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency fmax = 365 GHz.
