Abstract :
We report on a measurement of low frequency noise in InP based HFETs, fabricated on MOCVD and MBE grown materials. The obtained spectral density of the drain current fluctuations is close to the pure flicker noise. An analysis of the results indicates that low frequency noise mainly stems from the carrier number fluctuations. An effective density of traps was found less than 1010 ev-1 cm -2. Input referred noise of MBE grown InP HFETs was compared with that of MGF4419 and Philips D01PH HFETs. The low frequency noise of InP based device lies in the range of good commercially available GaAs HFETs
