摘要: In this paper, we present the development of a mesa isolation process for AlSb/InAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching with BCl 3 gas. Devices with different gate lengths ( L g : 60, 100, and 200 nm) fabricated by this dry etching technique show good DC and RF performances. With an appropriate L g /gate-channel distance ratio, the 200-nm-gate has very high peak transconductances of 781 mS/mm at V DS = 0.1 V and 2000 mS/mm at V DS = 0.5 V. Moreover, an extrinsic current gain cutoff frequency of 137 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency of 97 GHz were achieved at a drain bias voltage V DS = 0.3 V, indicating the great potential for such a device operating at high frequency with extremely low DC power consumption. 出版日期: 2012-06-01 出處: Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 2012-06, Vol.51 (6R), p.60202 資源來源: Institute of Physics Journals 識別號: ISSN: 0021-4922 識別號: EISSN: 1347-4065 識別號: DOI: 10.1143/JJAP.51.060202
