  • Abstract
    Pseudomorphic In0.52Al0.48As/In0.7Ga0.3As HEMTs have been fabricated in the gate length Lg range of 50 to 700 nm and their DC and RF characteristics measured at 300 and 16 K. The maximum drain-source current Ids, the maximum transconductance gm_max and the cutoff frequency fT values increased at 16 K as expected. The ratios gm_max(16 K)/gm_max(300 K) and fT(16 K)/fT(300 K) decreased with decreasing Lg, which results from the enhancement of the ballistic transport of electrons.
