Abstract
High Indium content (In%) InGaAs is a promising channel material to extend Si based CMOS technology [1]. However, due to its huge lattice mismatch with commercially available III–V substrates (GaAs or InP), it is difficult to grow high In% film beyond the ultra-thin critical thickness, and therefore difficult to obtain the in-plane nanowires (NWs) based on top-down etching of a thin-film structure. Here we directly grow InAs planar NWs heterogeneously on GaAs (100) via the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism [2] and demonstrate a planar NW gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET device. Despite a 6.7% lattice mismatch between InAs and GaAs (leading to a critical thickness below 1 nm for thin-film growth), high-quality InAs NWs are realized, enabling good electrical performance of MOSFET with a planar InAs NW as the channel. This technology also provides a potential solution for integrating planar NW channels of different materials on a single substrate.
