  • Abstract
    The p-channel operation of a selfaligned heterojunction field-effect transistor (HFET) based on an Si/Si0.75Ge0.25 heterostructure is demonstrated. Extrinsic transconductance gm greater than 8 mS/mm for a device with 1 mu m gate length was measured at 300 K. The high frequency 3 dB point has been measured to be 1.8 GHz.
