Abstract

Effects of postgrowth rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on structural and electrical properties of an In0.52Al0.48As∕In0.52Ga0.48As metamorphic high-electron-mobility transistor (MHEMT) structure grown on a GaAs substrate utilizing a compositionally graded InAlAs∕InGaAlAs buffer layer were investigated. High-resolution triple-axis x-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, and van der Pauw–Hall measurements were used for the investigation. While the RTA improved the structural property of the MHEMT, it degraded the channel mobility of the MHEMT due to defect-assisted impurity redistribution.
