Abstract:Copper-metallized AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomophic high-electron mobility transistor single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) switches utilizing platinum (Pt, 70 nm) as the diffusion barrier have been studied and demonstrated. As compared with the Au-metallized switches, the Cu-metallized SPDT switches exhibited comparable performance with insertion loss less than 0.5 dB, return loss larger than 20 dB, isolation larger than 35 dB, and the input power for 1-dB compression (input P 1 dB ) of 28.3 dBm at 2.5 GHz. In order to ev… Show more
