We report a III-V based metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) technology using Ga/sub 2/O/sub 3/(Gd/sub 2/O/sub 3/) as the gate insulator. Enhancement-mode p- and n-channel, depletion-mode n-channel GaAs MOSFETs, and enhancement-mode n-channel In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As MOSFETs were demonstrated.

A Timing Interface Unit (TIU) integrated circuit is implemented in a Ft=45 GHz (Ft) AlGaAs/GaAs HBT process. The TIU was designed for a satellite based laser altimeter system with vertical resolution of 5 cms. The TIU performs two functions: (1) generate coarse count for the time-of-flight of the laser pulse; (2) retiming the return pulse with the clock for the return pulse digitizer and generate the return acknowledge. The TIU has 27-bit ripple counter with synchronous operation up to 5 GHz. The packaged IC was tested up to 3 GHz clock rates and 5 GHz on-wafer testing. The chip dissipates 1.3 W. The TIU IC has been integrated into a prototype data acquisition system developed for laser altimetry.

The long-term reliability of an AlGaAs/GaAs HBT was found to have a strong dependence on the starting epitaxial material. The measured and extrapolated lifetimes ranged from 10/sup 2/ to 10/sup 9/ hours with devices fabricated on wafers obtained from 3 different vendors. The low frequency baseband noise characteristics were used to identify the source and the nature of mechanisms that lead to current gain degradation.

An IC chip set for 40 Gbit/s TDM optical transmission systems was designed and fabricated using an InP/InGaAs HBT technology. For digital ICs, a modulator driver, a D-type flip flop at 20 Gbit/s, and a 2:1 selector at 40 Gbit/s were fabricated. Also, three analog ICs were developed: the five-section cascode distributed amplifier which obtained a gain of 9.5 dB in the frequency range of 1-50 GHz, the 41.9 dB/spl Omega/ transimpedance amplifier which achieved more than 40 GHz bandwidth assuming 50 fF input capacitance for the photodetector, the two-stage differential amplifier which obtained a 7.5 dB gain with a bandwidth of 40 GHz.

A Q-band three-stage monolithic GaAs PHEMT amplifier with an output power of 1.4 W from 42 to 45 GHz has been developed. Power added efficiency between 14 and 18% with an associated gain of 12.5 dB was measured when biased at Vds=6.0 V and Idsq=1000 mA. When biased at Vds=5.0 V, Idsq=1000 mA this amplifier has demonstrated over 1.1 W of output power with an associated gain of 11.5 to 12.5 dB from 41 to 46 GHz. Similar performances were also measured when the design was transferred from 2 mil thick 3 inch diameter pilot process line to the 2 mil thick, 4 inch diameter manufacturing process line.

This paper discusses GaAs technology with regard to substrate materials, semiconductor devices, and the thriving wireless handset market that is carrying the GaAs industry toward record-breaking revenue and unit volume. A vertical view of the GaAs market for wireless applications is presented to provide a complete picture of the GaAs food chain. This paper does not focus on digital GaAs ICs and their applications but briefly mentions them.
