Abstract Combining the split capacitance-voltage method with Hall measurements revealed the existence of interface traps within the conduction band (CB) of InGaAs in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures with Al2O3 (or HfO2)/InGaAs interfaces. The impact of these interface traps on inversion-layer mobilities in InGaAs MOS field-effect transistors with various interface structures was investigated. We found that the interface traps (>1013 cm竏� eV竏�) induce Fermi level pining at an energy level 0.21窶�.35 eV above the CB minimum, which degrades the mobilities in the high inversion carrier concentration region. Furthermore, the energy levels are tunable by changing the interface structures.
