  • Abstract
    High quality modulation doped AlGaAs/GaAs QW structures were grown by chemical beam epitaxy using TEGa, TiBAl and AsH3. MODFETs with gate lengths of 0.2 mu m fabricated from these heterostructures show extrinsic DC transconductances gm,max=330 mS/mm at drain currents ID=145 mA/mm. Maximum drain currents are IDmax=275 mA/mm. RF characterisation reveals extrinsic cutoff frequencies fT=72 GHz for the current gain, and fmax=144 GHz for the unilateral power gain, respectively.
