  • Abstract
    GaInAs metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MISFETs) have been fabricated on metalorganic vapor-phase-epitaxy (MOVPE) grown GaInAs layers. Enhancement-type MISFETs exhibit very high transconductances of 300 and 250 mS/mm for gate lengths of 1.5 and 3 μm, respectively. The effective channel mobility is 5800 cm2 V-1 s-1. The saturation velocity is 3.5×107 cm/s. High-frequency measurements performed on 3- and 1.5-μm-gate-lengthdevices result in a current gain cutoff frequency of 6 and 14 GHz, respectively
