Abstract
This study focuses on the area of the epitaxial design, fabrication and characterization of a 1 µm gate-length InP-based pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) using InGaAs–InAlAs material systems. The advanced epitaxial layer design incorporates a highly strained aluminum-rich Schottky contact barrier, an indium-rich channel and a double delta-doped structure, which significantly improves upon the conventional low-noise pHEMT which suffers from high gate current leakage and low breakdown voltage. The outstanding achievements of the new design approach are 99% less gate current leakage and a 73% increase in breakdown voltage, compared with the conventional design. Furthermore, no degradation in RF performance is observed in terms of the cut-off frequency in this new highly tensile strained design. The remarkable performance of this advanced pHEMT design facilitates the implementation of outstanding low-noise devices.
