Abstract :
A series of 1.3 mu m gate length Ga1-xInxAs/Al0.48In0.52As MODFETs covering a wide range of x values in the channel (0.53or=0.77) has been successfully fabricated and compared. Although the maximum values of transconductance (1010 mS/mm), saturated drain current density (920 mA/mm), and room-temperature mobility are obtained with x=0.85, lower x values of 0.77-0.80 are found to offer the highest 77 K mobility and the best cutoff-frequency-gate-length product.
