摘要
AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility-transistors (HEMTs) with 0.8-mu m- and 0.3-mu m-gate-length were successfully fabricated on high-resistivity (HR) silicon substrate. The cutoff frequency f(T) values of 7 GHz, 22 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency f(max) values of 23 GHz, 40 GHz were achieved for 0.8-mu m- and 0.3-mu m-gate-length device, respectively. A minimum noise figure (NFmin) of 2.0 dB and an associate gain (G(ass)) of 10.3 dB were achieved at 10GHz in 0.3-mu m-gate-length device. This shows the promising potential of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on high-resistivity Si for cost effective low noise amplifiers.
