  • Abstract
    The 1/f noise of antimonide-based p-channel HFETs has been measured for the first time. The devices are fabricated with an InAlSb/AlGaSb barrier and a strained In0.41Ga0.59Sb quantum-well channel, yielding a channel hole mobility of 1020 cm2/V s and a sheet density of 1.6 1012 cm−2. The low-frequency noise spectrum in the linear region has a pure 1/f slope with no generation-recombination component. The Hooge parameter, alphaH, varies between 3times10-4 and 9times10-3 depending on the gate bias.
