A study of DX centers in GaAlAs layers is presented, both experimental and theoretical. It is shown that due to DX centers, at room temperature, the microwave transconductance of HEMTs can be considerably higher than that obtained from the DC regime, and approaches the values which could be expected if DX centers did not exist. As a result, for room temperature applications, special structures designed in order to eliminate DX centers are not really necessary
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
