    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the speed of a semiconductor integrated circuit utilizing the electrical characteristics of a different substance. SOLUTION: By utilizing high electron mobility for GeAs in an N-channel device and a high hole mobility for Ge in a P-channel device, a CMOS integrated circuit with GaAs/Ge is formed on an Si for improving the switching (propagation) delay of a transistor. A semi-insulation (non-doped) layer 102b of GaAs is formed on a silicon base 102a for giving a buffer layer, thus eliminating the possibility of latch-up. Then, a GaAs well 106 and a Ge well 110 are formed on the semi-insulation GaAs layer 102b for electrical isolation by thermal oxide and/or flowing oxide (HSQ) 112. By forming an N-channel MOS device 114 and a P-channel MOS device 116 in the GaAs well 106 and the Ge well 110, respectively, an integrated circuit is formed by interconnection.
