  • Abstract
    Monolithic wide-band amplifiers have been demonstrated using AlGaAs/InxGa1-xAs/GaAs pseudomorphic two-dimensional electron-gas field-effect transistors. The amplifiers have yielded an 18.0 GHz bandwidth and a 41.8 dBΩ transimpedance gain with a feedback resistance of 100 Ω. In addition, the dependence of In mole fraction for an InxGa1-xAs channel layer on device and amplifier performance has been also investigated. The gm and the fT in a device, along with the bandwidth, the gain, and the noise performance in an amplifier, have improved as the In mole fraction is varied from 0 to 0.25
