  • Abstract
    Mobilities of undoped GaAs-n-doped AlxGa1¿xAs heterostructures are shown to present a maximum as a function of the thickness of the undoped AlxGa1¿xAs spacer layer. This maximum increases as the temperature decreases. The transition temperature above which phonon scattering is dominant decreases as d increases. Heterostructure FETs working at 11 GHz give an 8 dB gain.
