We present K-band AlGaN/GaN HFET MMIC amplifiers on sapphire substrates. Integrated AlGaN/GaN HFETs have superlattice capping layers which successfully reduce series resistance. A typical HFET shows fmax of 161 GHz and NFmin of 2.5 dB at 28 GHz. The first demonstration of GaN based K-band MMIC is 2-stage amplifier with coplanar waveguide transmission line, which exhibits a small signal gain of 13 dB at 21.6 GHz. Further increase of the gain is achieved by 3-stage amplifier MMIC which include microstrip lines with via-holes. The via-holes are fabricated onto chemically stable sapphire by newly proposed laser drilling technique. The compact 3-stage amplifier exhibits a small-signal gain as high as 22 dB at 26 GHz with a 3 dB bandwidth of 4 GHz. The presented K-band MMIC would be applicable to future millimeter-wave communication systems. |
