摘要
We measured DC and RF characteristics at 300 and 16 K of sub-100-nm-gate AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) that had SiN/SiO2/SiN triple-layer insulators. The drain-source current and the maximum transconductance increased as expected. We observed an increase of 14 to 28% in the value of cutoff frequency f(T) at 16 K over that at 300 K. At 16 K, we obtained a maximum f(T) of 176 GHz at a gate length L. of 45 nm. We estimated the average electron velocity under the gate by a transit time analysis. The average velocities were 2.2 x 10(7) cm/s at 300 K and 2.7 x 10(7) cm/s at 16 K.
