High gain V-band medium power MMIC amplifiers have been successfully demonstrated using 0.15 /spl mu/m T-shaped gate AlGaAs/InGaAs heterojunction FETs. Optimization of the FET achieved high f/sub max/ of 227 GHz with high gate breakdown voltage of -13 V. A single-stage 65 GHz-band amplifier has exhibited 8.7 dB small signal gain with the 1 dB-gain-down bandwidth of 2 GHz. A single-stage 60 GHz-band amplifier has achieved 8.4 dB gain with 3 GHz bandwidth and good input and output impedance matching. The output power of 37.2 mW with high power-added-efficiency of 25.6% at 61.2 GHz has been obtained at 3 V drain bias.<>

A Gilbert-cell mixer IC for a 2.5 Gb/s coherent optical fiber transmission system using 0.25 /spl mu/m gate GaAs MESFETs has been developed. The mixer IC operates 1-8.5 GHz RF 3 dB bandwidth and an ideal square-law characteristic was obtained around input level of -15 dBm to 0 dBm. The mixer IC was actually operated in a 2.5 Gb/s coherent optical transmission test system, and sensitivity of -41.3 dBm for 10/sup -11/ bit-error-rate was obtained.<>

A 0.3 /spl mu/m AlGaAs-HEMT technology was used to develop a high speed analog to digital converter (ADC). The 5-b converter based on a parallel architecture, operates up to a 3.6 GHz sampling rate. Excellent dynamic performance was achieved by an optimized comparator design and careful layout of the signal and clock lines. Each comparator is preceeded by a preamplifier to enhance its sensitivity and to minimize clock kickback. Using source follower buffers at the input, a very linear input capacitance was achieved. Thus the ADC's overall input capacitance is voltage independent.<>

The authors develop a 25 k-gate array with 0.8-/spl mu/m buried p-layer MESFET, three-level gold-based interconnects, and Au bump technology. They use differential push-pull circuits for the ECL interface circuits to obtain a sufficient margin, a low-voltage (-1.6 V) power supply for the internal gates to reduce the power consumption, and -2.0 V for the I/O circuits. The basic cell array combines DCFL and ECL compatible buffered DCFL gates (BDCFL). The basic delay times are 45 ps for 0.75 mW DCFL and 60 ps for 1.2 mW BDCFL gates. The gate array chip size is 10.7/spl times/10/7 mm, and contains 24,320 three-input BDCFL internal gates. The authors also use 80 /spl mu/m TAB to reduce the package delay time and simultaneous switching output noise. They use the array in a vector parallel processor which has a peak performance of 355 GFLOPS.<>

The authors have developed a new GaAs-MMIC process technology using the low-temperature RF sputtered SrTiO/sub 3/ thin film capacitors which were combined with WSi-gate self-aligned FETs (SAFETs). The SrTiO/sub 3/ film with high dielectric constant (/spl epsi//sub r/) over 100 and low leakage current density under 10/sup -6/A/cm/sup 2/ at 1 MV/cm was obtained by RF sputtering method with the temperature range of 200/spl sim/300/spl deg/C. This SrTiO/sub 3/ capacitor exhibited no /spl epsi///sub r/ change up to 3.0 GHz, and low insertion losses of 0.29 dB and 0.05 dB were obtained for 32 pF-capacitor (S=10,000 /spl mu/m/sup 2/) at 0.2 GHz and 1.0 GHz, respectively. By integrating these on-chip SrTiO/sub 3/ bypass-capacitors into GaAs-IC, the parasitic inductance of the source-to-ground interconnection is successfully reduced, and the enhanced gain characteristic was obtained for self-biased amplifier circuit.<>
