DC and microwave measurements on AlSb/InAs HEMTs with a gate length of
0.2 mum are reported. The reverse gate characteristics exhibit relati
vely low gate leakage current and gate-drain breakdown voltages as hig
h as 5V. Equivalent circuit modelling yields an f(T) of 110GHz after r
emoval of the gate bonding pad capacitance. The bias dependence of f(m
ax) is examined indicating a significant reduction in the unilateral g
ain due to impact ionisation.
