Abstract
Inversion-mode GaAs wave-shaped metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (WaveFETs) are demonstrated using atomic-layer epitaxy of La2O3 as gate dielectric on (111)A nano-facets formed on a GaAs (100) substrate. The wave-shaped nano-facets, which are desirable for the device on-state and off-state performance, are realized by lithographic patterning and anisotropic wet etching with optimized geometry. A well-behaved 1 μm gate length GaAs WaveFET shows a maximum drain current of 64 mA/mm, a subthreshold swing of 135 mV/dec, and an ION/IOFF ratio of greater than 107.

We demonstrate GaAs wave-shaped metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) (WaveFETs) on a GaAs (100) substrate by nano-engineering to form ALE La2O3 on (111)A nano-facets
The epitaxial La2O3 thin films employed here were deposited from the precursors lanthanum tris(N,N’-diisopropylformamidinate) and H2O at 385 °C, while the amorphous Al2O3 oxide capping layer was deposited with precursors of trimethylalumnum (TMA) and H2O at 300 °C
