Indium gallium arsenide on insulator n-channel fin field-effect transistors

The InGaAs-OI/Si wafer was produced using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and direct wafer bonding. The 20nm In0.53Ga0.47As layer was doped with ~5x1017/cm3 silicon. The buried oxide (BOX) insulator layer was 37nm thick.
