Abstract :
Device quality Al0.49In0.51As/Ga0.47In0.53As MHEMT structures have been grown by MOCVD on GaAs substrates, with 2-DEG mobility over 8700 cm2/V-s and sheet carrier density at around 4 times 1012 cm-2. A 150 nm T-gate transistor demonstrated unity current gain cutoff frequency (fT) and maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 279 and 231 GHz, respectively.
