Abstract
We report the first implementation of InAs/AlSb dual-gate (DG) HFETs. The devices were fabricated by conventional optical lithography and consist of two electrically distinct 1-μm gates, with a 1-μm intergate separation. The DG-HFETs feature well-behaved, kink-free drain characteristics, and exhibit both high transconductance and low output conductance. We find that DG operation significantly reduces the short-channel effects that have so far plagued InAs/AlSb devices, and increases the maximum allowable drain bias. We estimate that cutoff frequencies as high as 30 GHz-μm may be possible for such devices based on simple equivalent circuit models and previously published experimental data on single-gate InAs/AlSb HFETs.
