Kb. Chough et al., GRADED PSEUDOMORPHIC CHANNEL ALLNP ALLNAS GALNAS HEMTS WITH HIGH CHANNEL BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE/, Electronics Letters, 30(5), 1994, pp. 453-454
The Letter reports effects of the composition grading of the channel o
n the device characteristics of Al0.48In0.52As/Ga1-xInxAs pseudomorphi
c HEMTs. Systematic studies reveal that the modification of the quantu
m-well channel by grading the composition considerably changes the cha
nnel breakdown (BV(ds)) and output conductance (G(o)) characteristics.
HEMTs with graded Ga1-xInxAs channel (from x = 0.7 to x = 0.6) exhibi
ted significantly improved BV(ds) (IIV) and g(o) (40 mS/mm) compared w
ith HEMTs with uniform composition (x = 0.7) in the channel (BV(ds) =
4V and g(o) = 80 mS/mm).
