A maximum frequency of oscillation (fmax) of 1.3 THz was achieved using an extended drain-side recess structure of InAlAs/InGaAs high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs), although the gate length was relatively long at 75 nm. The high fmax was improved by reducing the drain output conductance (gd). The use of an asymmetric gate recess structure and double-side doping above and below a channel region were effective in reducing gd. Further improvements in transconductance (gm) and gd were achieved by reducing the distance between the source and gate electrodes.
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.
