The structure and electrical properties of LaAlO3n-In0.53Ga0.47As metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors deposited by molecular-beam epitaxy were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a sharp interface between the dielectric and InGaAs. Postdeposition annealing at 440500°C significantly reduced the capacitive equivalent thickness and frequency dispersion. A hysteresis of 15mV0.1V, a dielectric permittivity of 17±1, and a dielectric strength of 4.3MVcm were measured. Additionally, a high loss in the parallel conductance and gate-bias independence in the inversion region was observed, implying the fast generation rate of minority carriers in In0.53Ga0.47As.
