Abstract

We report, to our knowledge, the best high-temperature characteristics and thermal stability of a novel /spl delta/-doped In/sub 0.425/Al/sub 0.575/As--In/sub 0.65/Ga/sub 0.35/As--GaAs metamorphic high-electron mobility transistor. High-temperature device characteristics, including extrinsic transconductance (g/sub m/), drain saturation current density (I/sub DSS/), on/off-state breakdown voltages (BV/sub on//BV/sub GD/), turn-on voltage (V/sub on/), and the gate-voltage swing have been extensively investigated for the gate dimensions of 0.65×200 μm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . The cutoff frequency (f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</sub> ) and maximum oscillation frequency (f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">max</sub> ), at 300 K, are 55.4 and 77.5 GHz at V/sub DS/=2 V, respectively. Moreover, the distinguished positive thermal threshold coefficient (/spl part/V/sub th///spl part/T) is superiorly as low as to 0.45 mV/K.
