Abstract
Presents threshold voltage data for Al0.48In0.52As/Ga0.47In0.53As/InP heterostructure insulated gate FETs (HIGFETs) with gate lengths from 1.2 mu m to 0.4 mu m. The refractory-gate, self-aligned fabrication process was applied to MBE-grown structures with 300 AA Ga0.47In0.53As channels and semi-insulating superlattice buffers to achieve sharp pinchoff with excellent threshold uniformity. HIGFETs with Lg=1.2 mu m showed a threshold voltage of -0.076+or-0.019 V, making them well-suited to application in direct-coupled FET logic (DCFL) circuits.
