摘要
Unstrained high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) were fabricated from InAIN/GaN on semi-insulating SiC substrates. The devices had 0.24-mu m T-gates with a total width of 2 x 150 Mm. Final passivated performance values for these devices are Im = 1279 mA/mm, I-DSS = 1182 mA/mm, R-c = 0.43 Omega center dot mm, rho(s) = 315 Omega/sq, f(T) = 45 GHz, f(max(MAG)) = 64 GHz, and g(m) = 268 mS/mm. Continuous-wave power measurements at 10 GHz produced P-sat = 3.8 W/mm, G(t) = 8.6 dB, and PAE = 30% at V-DS = 20 V at 25% I-DSS. To our knowledge, these are the first power measurements reported at 10 GHz for this material.
