abstract

  • Lattice-matched and strained (pseudomorphic) InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT's are recognized as the most suitable components for operation at millimeter-waves. Both types of devices have shown excellent high-frequency performance. Pseudomorphic InAlAs/InxGa1-x As HEMT's are particularly promising candidates for high-frequency and low-noise applications due to the superior material properties of the strained InGaAs channel. The InGaAs channel with excess Indium provides improved low-field mobility characteristics, better carrier confinement and higher peak velocity due to the larger Γ-to-L valley separation, compared with lattice-matched channels. This paper addresses such pseudomorphic designs using double heterostructure (DH) HEMT designs.
