Abstract :
We report on the Langmuir-Blodgett film deposition and plasma etching of cadmium distearate on n-Gao.47Ino.53As to form a high-barrier-height Schottky barrier. Using this technique to form the gate electrode, we fabricated a 1¿m-gate-length inverted InP-GalnAs modulation-doped field-effect transistor (MODFET) with an extrinsic transconductance of 170mS/mm and a cutoff frequencyfT of 19 GHz.
