35-nm Zigzag T-Gate $\hbox {In}_{0.52}\hbox {Al}_{0.48} \hbox {As/In}_{0.53}\hbox {Ga}_{0.47}\hbox {As}$ Metamorphic GaAs HEMTs W

Metamorphic GaAs high electron mobility transistors (mHEMTs) with the highest-f _max reported to date are presented here. The 35-nm zigzag T-gate In_0.52Al_0.48As/In_0.53Ga_0.47As metamorphic GaAs HEMTs show f _maxof 520 GHz, f _T of 440 GHz, and maximum transconductance (g _m) of 1100 mS/mm at a drain current of 333 mA/mm. The combinations of f _max and f _T are the highest data yet reported for mHEMTs. These devices are promising candidates for aggressively scaled sub-35-nm T-gate mHEMTs.
