Fabrication and Characterization of 0.2μm InAlAs/InGaAs Metamorphic HEMT’s with Inverse Step- Graded InAlAs Buffer on GaAs Substrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metamorphic InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT are successfully demonstrated, exhibiting several advantages over conventional P-HEMT on GaAs and LM-HEMT on InP substrate. The strainrelaxed metamorphic structure is grown by MBE on the GaAs substrate with the inverse-step graded InAlAs metamorphic buffer. The device with 40% indium content shows the better characteristics than the device with 53% indium content. The fabricated metamorphic HEMT with 0.2μm T-gate and 40% indium content shows the excellent DC and microwave characteristics of Vth=-0.65V, g m,max=620mS/mm, fT=120GHz and fmax=210GHz.

Reliability and degradation mechanism of AlGaAs/InGaAs and InAlAs/InGaAs HEMTs
The long-term stability of AlGaAs/GaAs and InAlAs/InGaAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), tested under high drain voltage and/or high temperature operation is reported. HEMTs with high In content in the active channel, alternatively fabricated on InP substrates and on GaAs substrates covered by a metamorphic buffer (MHEMT), are compared. Despite the high dislocation density in the bu...

We report on the use of InAlAs linearly graded buffer layers for improving the performance of InyGa12yAs (y.0.42)/AlGaAs intersubband transition ~ISBT! superlattice structures grown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Linearly graded InAlAs buffer layers give better optical confinement in the active superlattice region, similar intersubband transition linewidths, and comparable surfac...
متن کاملA Physical Model for the Kink Effect in InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT’s
We present a new model for the the kink effect in InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT’s. The model suggests that the kink is due to a threshold voltage shift which arises from a hole pile-up in the extrinsic source and an ensuing charging of the surface and/or the buffer-substrate interface. The model captures the many of the observed behaviors of the kink, including the kink's dependence on bias, time, tempera...

Metamorphic buffers ~M-buffers! consisting of graded InAlAs or bulk InP were employed for the production of InP-based epiwafers on GaAs substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy. The graded InAlAs is the standard for production metamorphic high electron mobility transistors ~M-HEMTs!, while the bulk InP offers superior thermal properties for higher current density circuits.
