InGaAs/InAlAs InP-based HEMT with the current cutoff frequency of 441 GHz
In this letter,an In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As InP-based HEMT with fT>400 GHz was designed and fabri-cated successfully.A narrow gate recess technology was used to optimize the parasitic resistances.The gate length is 54.4 nm,and the gate width is 2×50 μm.The maximum drain current IDS.max is 957 mA/mm,and the maximum transconductance gm.max is 1 265 mS/mm.The current gain cutoff frequency fT is as high as 441 GHz and the maximum oscillation frequency fmax reaches 299 GHz,even at a relatively small value of VDS=0.7 V.The re-ported device can be applied to terahertz monolithic integrated amplifiers and other circuits.
