  • Abstract
    In summary, we show that properly scaled HEMT devices can operate will into the THz regime, and provide a viable device option in this spectral region. These results are also important for logic devices desired for operation in the Tbs regime, as the cutoff frequency fT is intimately related to the logic delay time in a switching transistor.
