Abstract
A GaAs power FET with a spike-gate has been developed for the high efficiency operation under the extremely low voltage supply of 1.5 V. The spike-gate provides both the low on-resistance of 2.2 Ω/mm and the high transconductance of 180 mS/mm without reducing the output impedance nor increasing the gate resistance. The implemented device achieved the output power of 31.5 dBm with 65% power-added efficiency at the frequency of 900 MHz. Sub-quarter micron footprints of the spike-gate were defined by using the phase shift lithography
