Abstract

In this comparative study we investigate the performance of AlGaN/GaN based MSM varactor diodes based on HFET and MOSHFET layer systems. Device fabrication uses standard HFET fabrication technology, allowing easy integration in MMICs. Devices with different electrode geometries are characterized by DC and by S-parameter measurements up to 50 GHz. The HFET based varactors show capacitance ratios up to 14. The MOSHFET based devices, on the other hand, exhibit lower capacitance ratios and poorer stability because of the insulation layer between electrodes and semiconductor.
