  • Abstract
    In summary, MBE-grown N-face HEMTs deliver outstanding large signal performance in the C-band, comparable to well-developed Ga-face devices. It was demonstrated that back-barrier engineering could effectively enhance device performance, and hence should be identified as an important design consideration when scaling N-face HEMTs for millimeter-wave operations.
