  • Abstract
    We investigated the gate length (Lg) dependence of the electrical characteristics in AlGaAs/InGaAs PHEMT using Silvaco simulation tools. Two PHEMTs with different structure are studied, namely uniformly doped PHEMT (U-HEMT) and PHEMT with double delta-doped (D-HEMT) layers. For both PHEMT, short channel effects affect characteristics significantly especially in devices with gate lengths of sub-100 nm regime. From simulation, a maximum fT of 165 GHz is obtained for 70 nm gate-length U-HEMT while the 70 nm gate-length D-PHEMT displays fT of 135 GHz.
