High reliability of 0.1 /spl mu/m InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMT MMICs on 3-inch InP production process
The high-reliability performance of K-band MMIC amplifiers fabricated using 0.1 /spl mu/m T-gate InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMTs on 3-inch wafers using a high volume production process is reported. Operating at an accelerated life test condition of V/sub ds/=1.2 V and I/sub ds/=150 mA/mm, two-stage balanced amplifiers were life tested at three temperatures (T/sub 1/=215/spl deg/C, T/sub 2/=230/spl deg/C and T/sub 3/=250/spl deg/C) in a N/sub 2/ ambient. The activation energy (E/sub a/) is as high as 2 eV, achieving a projected median-time-to-failure (MTF) >1/spl times/10/sup 8/ hours at a 125/spl deg/C junction temperature. MTF was determined by 3-temperature constant current stress using | /spl Delta/S21 | >1.0 dB as the failure criteria. This is the first demonstration of 3-temperature high reliability 0.1 /spl mu/m InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMT based on small-signal microwave characteristics of HEMT MMIC. This result demonstrates a robust InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMT production technology.
