  • Abstract
    CHF3+BCl3 mixed-gas reactive ion etching process was used to study the etching characteristics of InGaP materials. After optimizing the etching conditions, we applied this technology to the gate-recess process of InGaP/InGaAs double doped-channel FET (DCFET) fabrication. The maximum transconductance of 180 mS/mm for a gate length of 1.0 μm was obtained, and the cut off frequencies were fi=13 GHz and fmax=30 GHz. InGaP/InGaAs DCFETs biased at class A demonstrated a power-added efficiency of 16.6%, a gain of 7 dB, and an output power density of 185 mW/mm at 1.9 GHz
