  • Abstract
    We report microwave characterisation of nominally 1μm-gate AI0.48In0.52As/Ga0.47In0.53As (lattice-matched to InP) modulation-doped field-effect transistors (MODFETs). The AI0.48In0.52As/Ga0.47In0.53As MODFETs have room-temperature extrinsic transconductances as high as 250 mS/mm. A room-temperature unity-current-gain cutoff frequency (fT) of 22 GHz and an fmax of 35 GHz were measured for a 1.2 μm-gate MODFET.
