  • Abstract
    Millimeter-wave monolithic GaAs FET amplifiers have been developed. These amplifiers were fabricated using FET´s with MBE-grown active layers and electron-beam defined sub-half-micrometer gates. Source groundings are provided through very low inductance via holes. The single-stage amplifier has achieved over a 10-dB gain at 44 GHz. A 300-µm gate-width amplifier has achieved an output power of 60 mW with a power density of 0.2 W per millimeter of gate width.
