Abstract :
Research into various areas of III-V electronics is presented. GaAs MESFETs passivated with LT AlxGa1-xAs showed increased breakdown voltages (Vbkd=43V) over standard devices (Vbkd=8V). MESFETs and pHEMTs fabricated with insulating oxide buffers (GaAs-On-lnsulator) produced world record power-added efficiencies (PAE=88%). Recently, research has been oriented towards collector-up with oxide current confinement layers for high gain, high speed performance.
