“…III-V materials [6], [7] are attractive in such systems, both as CMOS and RF performance boosters [8], [9] through high electron mobility, as well as enablers of new functionalities, e.g., as direct band gap materials. Hybrid solutions, combining Si CMOS and III-V channels [10], [11], furthermore, can leverage the low thermal budget process of III-V FETs [12], typically sub-600 • C, to avoid degradation of reliability and performance of the bottom level Si CMOS. We have previously demonstrated III-V InGaAs MOSFETs directly integrated on top of a pre-processed Si CMOS wafer [13]- [16], with InGaAs MOSFET performance approaching but not yet matching state-of-the-art InGaAs devices fabricated on silicon substrate [17]- [21], a challenging target due to the difference in fabrication complexity.…”
