A self-aligned replacement metal gate QWFET device comprises a III-V quantum well layer formed on a substrate, a III-V barrier layer formed on the quantum well layer, a III-V etch stop layer formed on the III-V barrier layer, a III-V source extension region formed on the III-V etch stop layer and having a first sidewall, a source region formed on the III-V source extension region and having a second sidewall, a III-V drain extension region formed on the III-V etch stop layer and having a third sidewall, a drain region formed on the III-V drain extension region and having a fourth sidewall, a conformal high-k gate dielectric layer formed on the first, second, third, and fourth sidewalls and on a top surface of the etch stop layer, and a metal layer formed on the high-k gate dielectric layer. |
