300 mm InGaAsOI substrate fabrication using the Smart CutTM technology

In this work we demonstrate for the first time 300 mm InGaAs on Insulator (InGaAs-OI) substrates. A 30 nm thick InGaAs layer was successfully transferred using low temperature Direct Wafer Bonding (DWB) and the Smart Cut
^TM
technology. The epitaxial growing process has been optimized to reduce the surface roughness of the InGaAs film at around 1.5 nm RMS. HR-XRD characterization on the transferred InGaAs layer indicates that the layer remains crystalline.
