The structure and electrical properties of 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 significantly reduced the capacitive equivalent thickness and frequency dispersion. A hysteresis of , a dielectric permittivity of , and a dielectric strength of 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 .
