Abstract
The use of microwave high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) as photodetectors or optically controlled circuit elements have attracted interest. A model of the optical characteristics of HEMTs, which takes into account carrier transport as well as the quantum mechanical nature of the two-dimensional (2-D) electron gas channel, is presented. It is shown that the effect of illumination is equivalent to a shift in the gate to source bias voltage, referred to as the internal photovoltaic effect. The theoretical model is supported by experimental results that demonstrate that the HEMT photoresponse is a nonlinear function of light intensity with very high responsivity at low optical power levels.
