  • Abstract
    Modulation-doped GaAs/n-Al0.3Ga0.7As MESFETs have been fabricated. At 77 K, DC transconductance of 160 mS mm-1was observed, which is the highest transconductance value ever reported in this type of structure. The intrinsic transconductance was calculated to be 350 mSmm-1, and the corresponding average electron drift velocity is 1.8 × 107cm s-1, which demonstrates the real advantage of this type of device in high-speed applications.
