Abstract
Indium phosphide channel junction field effect transistors were fabricated by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using tertiarybulylphosphine (TBP) as the alternative source for phosphine. At growth temperatures of 600°C, InP with specular surface morphology and mobilities as high as 61000 cm2/V s at 77Khas been achieved using trimethylindium and TBP. To improve device isolation, pinch-off characteristics, and output transconductance, we employ a high resistivity (1 × 108 Ω-cm) semi-insulating InP buffer layer using ferrocene as the Fe-dopant. Devices with gate lengths of 1 urn exhibit very high extrinsic transconductance of 130 mS/mm, gate-drain breakdown voltage exceeding 20 V, maximum current density of >450 mA/mm with record high fT and fmax of 15 GHz and 35 GHz, respectively. These results indicate: that InP JFETs are promising electronic devices for microwave power amplification, and that TBP is capable of device quality materials.
