Abstract :
The author investigate the effects of body contacts in InP-based In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47 As HEMTs. A body contact connecting a floating InAlAs buffer to an ohmic electrode is formed by a buried p-layer and the Zn-diffused p+-region in the electrode. The body contact successfully prevents holes generated by impact ionisation from accumulating in the channel resulting in higher breakdown voltage and kink-free I/V characteristics
