Abstract
80-nm InAs channel HEMTs with different lattice matched sub-channels, In0.53Ga0.47As and In0.7Ga0.3As, have been fabricated. The device with InAs/In0.7Ga0.3As composite channel exhibits high drain current density (1101 mA/mm), and high transconductance (1605 mS/mm) at drain bias VDS = 0.8 V. The high current gain cutoff frequency (ft) of 360 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 380 GHz of the device with InAs/In0.7Ga0.3As were obtained at VDS = 0.7 V in comparison to the InAs/In0.53Ga0.47 As channel HEMTs with ft = 310 and fmax = 330 GHz. This is due to the high electron mobility and electron confinement in the InAs/In0.7Ga0.3As channel. In addition, a low gate delay time 0.84 psec was obtained at VDS = 0.5 V. The excellent performance of the InAs channel HEMTs demonstrated in this study shows great potential for high speed and very low power logic applications with the optimal design of In0.7Ga0.3As/InAs/In0.7Ga0.3As composite channel.
