By epitaxial layer structure design and key fabrication process optimization,a lattice-matched InP-based In0.53Ga0.47 As-In0.52Al0.48As HEMT with an ultra high maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 183GHz was fab- ricated. The fmax is the highest value for HEMTs in China. Also, the devices are reported, including the device structure, the fabrication process, and the DC and RF performances.
Lattice-matched In0.5 Ga0.47 As/In0.52 Al 0.48 As high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with a cutoff frequency (ft) as high as 218GHz are reported. This fT is the highest value ever reported for HEMTs in China. These devices also demonstrate excellent DC characteristics:the extrinsic transconductance is 980mS/mm and the maximum current density is 870mA/mm. The material structure and all the device fabrication technology in this work were developed by our group.
