Additional information

This paper reports the first time fabrication of MOS transistors on germanium-on-sapphire substrates using wafer bonding technology. The novel technology results in significant performance enhancement of high speed electronics. The high carrier mobilities of germanium semiconductor are combined with sapphire low rf loss and reduced cross-talk characteristics. The structures are also compatible with the growth of GaAs layers for opto-electrical applications.
