Abstract
This paper reports InGaAs/InP composite-channel (CC) high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown by metal–organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) with excellent breakdown and high-speed characteristics. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) reveals high-quality heterointerfaces between In(Ga,Al)As and In(Al)P. Fabricated 80-nm-gate CC HEMTs exhibit on- and off-state breakdown (burnout) voltages estimated at higher than 3 and 8 V. An excellent current-gain cutoff frequency ( fT) of 186 GHz is also obtained in the CC HEMTs. The on-wafer uniformity of CC-HEMT characteristics is comparable to those of our mature 100-nm-gate InGaAs single-channel HEMTs. Bias-stress aging tests reveals that the lifetime of CC HEMTs is expected to be comparable to that of our conventional InGaAs single-channel HEMTs.
