Abstract :
Summary form only given. Al0.6In0.4As Schottky layers have been combined with GaInAs/InP composite channels. The effect of changing the thickness of the Ga0.47In0.53 As channel on the DC and RF characteristics of the HEMTs was investigated. Preliminary results indicate that GaInAsP/InP composite channel HEMTs with a Ga0.47In0.53As channel thickness of 50 Å or less show improvement in the drain-to-source breakdown voltage without sacrificing performance
