The application of CCl4-doped semi-insulating InP as a buffer layer in
a pseudomorphic Ga0.2In0.8P/Ga0.47In0.53As/InP high electron mobility
transistor (HEMT) grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition is
reported. This Al-free InP-base HEMT with a gate length of 1.3 mu m ha
s extrinsic transconductances of 420 and 610 mS/mm at 300 and 77 K, re
spectively. A cutoff frequency of 15 GHz and a maximum oscillation fre
quency of 40 GHz are obtained. The results demonstrate the CCL(4)-dope
d semi-insulating InP is a promising buffer layer for InP-based HEMT.
