Kb. Chough et al., EFFECT OF STRAIN ON MICROWAVE NOISE CHARACTERISTICS IN IN0.52AL0.48ASINXGA1-XAS ESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-X-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-0.80) HEMTS/, Electronics Letters, 29(15), 1993, pp. 1338-1340
The RF noise characteristics of lattice-matched and strained In0.52Al0
.48As/InxGa1-xAs HEMTs grown by MBE have been investigated. The indium
composition of the InxGa1-xAs channel was varied from x = 0.53 to 0.8
0. While the gain and speed performance were significantly improved wi
th the increase of indium composition as expected, the noise character
istics showed that the microwave noise increases with the increase of
the indium composition.
