Abstract :
The formation of millimetre-wave GaAs mixer diodes and 0.5 mu m gate FETs on the same wafer has been demonstrated using a three-layer MBE structure. The diodes have a measured cut-off frequency of 780 GHz and the FETs typically exhibit fmax greater than 50 GHz. This technology is suitable for the implementation of monolithic microwave and millimetre-wave receivers.
