In this paper, we aim to decompose gate capacitance components in InGaAs/InAlAs quantum-well (QW) CHONDROITIN SULFATE metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs), in an effort to physically investigate their gate capacitance (Cg).First, we verified their validity with 1-D simulation and experimental Cg data in various types of InGaAs/InAlAs QW MOSFETs with different channel thickness (tch).Both quantum capacitance (CQ) and centroid capacitance (Ccent) were highly relevant to total gate capacitance (Cg) of the InGaAs/InAlAs QW MOSFETs.Second, the total Cg did not saturate at a strong inversion regime.This is a consequence of the second subband inversion layer capacitance (Cinv_2) and, more importantly, its increase with Sneakers VG.

Lastly, we studied the role of channel thickness (tch) scaling, which helps to increase the total gate capacitance by enhancing both CQ and Ccent.
