摘要
We report 1000-transistor-level monolithic circuit integration of sub-30-nm gate-recessed E/D GaN high-electronmobility transistors with f(T) and f(max) above 300 GHz. Simultaneous f(T)/f(max) of 348/340 and 302/301 GHz for E- and D-mode devices, respectively, was measured, representing a 58% increase in f(T) compared with our previous report, due to improved management of RC parasitic delay. Three-terminal E- and D-mode breakdown voltage of 10.7 and 11.8 V, respectively, is limited by gate-drain breakdown.
