This paper presents the first 77 GHz single-chip direct-conversion transceiver in silicon. The transceiver, fabricated in a 0.13 mum SiGe BiCMOS technology with fT/fMAX of 170/200 GHz, consumes 740 mW, and occupies 1.3 mm x 0.9 mm. The receiver achieves 25.6 dB conversion gain, 9 dB noise figure, 90 dB dynamic range, and an IP1dB of -24 dBm. The transmitter provides +5.8 dBm of saturated output power at 77 GHz, and a divide14, static frequency divider is included on-die. A tuned, 77 GHz clock distribution network is used to distribute the VCO signal to the divider, power amplifier, and down-conversion mixer. Successful detection of a Doppler shift of 55 Hz at a range of 4 m is shown. The phase noise at IF is shown to be superior to the VCO, suggesting noise correlation between the transmitter and receiver.

Aggressive technology scaling of CMOS has culminated in a low-cost high volume commercial process technology with Ft > 150 GHz and Fmax > 200 GHz. This paper discusses the key trends in CMOS scaling that have led to this level of performance and attempts to predict the performance down to 45 nm. The design of active and passive components in CMOS for power gain and low noise are discussed in detail and unique features of CMOS technology are highlighted. Experimental results derived from a 60 GHz amplifier in 90 nm CMOS and a complete 60 GHz front-end receiver in 130 nm CMOS are reported.

This article discusses recent advances of nonpolar and semipolar GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs). Devices fabricated on these alternative orientations are already beginning to realize significant performance milestones. Nonpolar GaN has been employed to facilitate high-power LEDs and to realize CW operation of novel AlGaN-cladding-free LD structures. Semipolar GaN has also been successfully used to demonstrate LDs and to realize high-power, high-efficiency green LEDs.

GaN-on-Silicon technology is a highly manufacturable, reliable, and cost effective AlGaN/GaN HEMT platform. Maximum RF performance (power and efficiency) can be achieved by addressing two main areas related to the silicon substrate: the RF loss to the silicon substrate and the thermal resistance of the device to the heat sink. In this paper, we will report on how the two areas can be addressed in a realistic environment to enable high power, high voltage operation. This device technology can be used to develop high power amplifiers that are significantly smaller, lighter, and operate over a broad bandwidth.

We review our latest developments in the field of Raman thermography and its application to GaN microelectronics. Device self-heating, the temperature rise in a device generated by electrical power dissipation, plays an important role for device performance and reliability, however, is difficult to assess as it occurs on sub-micrometer length scales in most devices, not observable using traditional thermography techniques. The new technique of Raman thermography enables to gain unprecedented insight into device self-heating with sub-micron spatial and with nanosecond time resolution. Thermal resistance of GaN electronic devices on different substrates and with different layouts are compared, interface thermal resistance between the GaN and the substrate was determined. Temperature measurements in the device plane and three dimensionally from the device into the substrate are discussed. Temperature in devices operated in pulsed mode as function of time, dependent on duty cycle and pulse length was studied. A comparison to temperature measurements performed using electrical methods illustrates that care must be taken when identifying junction temperatures using electrical methods.

The state-of-the-art GaN high electron mobility transistors (GaN-HEMTs) technology for millimeter-wave amplifiers is described in this paper. A high maximum frequency of an oscillation (fmax) device with high breakdown voltage (BVgd) was focused on to improve the gain, efficiency, and reliability of the millimeter-wave amplifier. In this study, we demonstrated a high fmax of 180 GHz with a BVgd of 190 V using a novel Y-shaped Schottky gate and n-type doped GaN cap structure. The effects of the AlGaN layer, device dimensions, and sheet resistance were investigated to obtain a highly reliable W- band power amplifier. Index Terms — Semiconductor devices, Millimeter-wave FETs, power amplifiers.

In this paper, we demonstrate a vertically integrated 3-D MMIC phase shifter at 8 GHz that utilizes a 5-layer benzocyclobutene (BCB) process providing a total of 7 metal layers. This multi-layer technology is fully compatible with Northrop Grumman's 0.15 um GaAs HEMT technology and enables a high level of MMIC compaction which will substantially reduce the size and cost of MMICs. A key feature of this technology is the ability to isolate vertically integrated components of a MMIC' with separate ground planes allowing circuit compaction while maintaining high isolation.

Current 100-Gbit/s full-electrical time division multiplex (ETDM) transmission technologies are examined. The focus is on the electrical and electro-optical components, the state-of-the-art and the still existing bottle necks, mainly regarding the formats on-off keying (OOK) and differential quadature-phase shift keying (DQPSK). But also a comparative look on a promising rival solution with non-full ETDM will be included, namely polarization-multiplexed QPSK with coherent detection (PQPSKC).

This paper reports an ultra-wideband ultra-low-DC power high gain MMIC low noise amplifier (LNA) with differential RF input using 0.1-mum gate length InAs/AlSb metamorphic HEMTs, fabricated and characterized on a GaAs substrate. For testing purpose and for generating a differential RF input, a 3-12 GHz wideband on-chip MMIC balun is connected to the differential input. Even with the loss of the balun included, the differential amplifier demonstrated 4 dB typical noise figure with associated gain of 22 dB from 3-12 GHz at a low DC dissipation of 23 mW. Additionally, a single-ended LNA, which the differential LNA is based on, is also fabricated for evaluation. The single-ended LNA demonstrated 1.5 dB typical noise figure with associated gain of 25 dB from 1-16 GHz at a low DC dissipation of 16 mW

This paper describes an AlGaN/GaN FET power amplifier module delivering a continuous wave (CW) output power of more than 20 W at 26 GHz. To achieve high breakdown characteristics with reduced current collapse and high gain, we have developed a 0.2 µm-long recessed-gate AlGaN/GaN FET with a field-modulating plate (FP), achieving high operation voltage of 25 V even at quasi-millimeter wave frequencies. A single-ended AlGaN/GaN FP-FET amplifier module for quasi- millimeter wave frequency has been fabricated for the first time. The amplifier module developed using a 6.3-mm-wide single chip recessed-gate AlGaN/GaN FP-FET exhibited an output power of 20.7 W, a linear gain of 5.4 dB and a power-aided efficiency of 21.3% at 26 GHz. This is the highest output power in solid state power amplifiers at over 20 GHz.
