An InGaAs/InP quantum well finfet using the replacement fin process integrated in an RMG flow on 300mm Si substrates

Abstract

InGaAs FinFETs fabricated by an unique Si fin replacement process have been demonstrated on 300mm Si substrates. The devices are integrated by process modules developed for a Si-IIIV hybrid 300mm R&D pilot line, compatible for future CMOS high-volume manufacturing. First devices with a SS of 190 mV/dec and extrinsic gm of 558 μS/μm are achieved for an EOT of 1.9nm, Lg of 50nm and fin width of 55nm. A trade-off between off state leakage and mobility for different p-type doping levels of the InP and InGaAs layers is found and the RMG high-κ last processing is demonstrated to offer significant performance improvements over that of high-κ first.
