Abstract: | Highly strained InGaP/In0.33Ga0.67As pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (p-HEMT) structures were grown on patterned GaAs substrates. Performance of the highly strained p-HEMTs grown on patterned substrates was compared with that of highly strained p-HEMTs and conventional InGaP/In0.22Ga0.78 As p-HEMTs grown on nonpatterned substrates. The highly strained p-HEMTs grown on patterned substrates showed substantial improvements in dc (transconductance and drain saturation current) and rf (cutoff frequency: fT and maximum oscillation frequency: fmax ) performances as compared with those of the p-HEMTs grown on nonpatterned substrates. The results indicate the potential of highly strained p-HEMTs using reduced area growth for high-speed device applications |
