We measured the DC and RF characteristics of InP-based 75-nm-gate In0.52Al0.48As/In0.63Ga0.37As HEMTs with various drain-side recess lengths Lrd’s at 300 and 16 K. The kink phenomenon was seen in the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics for all the measured HEMTs at 16 K. The peak cutoff frequency fT decreases with increasing Lrd both at 300 and 16 K. On the other hand, the maximum oscillation frequency fmax shows very complicated behavior both at 300 and 16 K. We found that there exists the most suitable Lrd value to increase fmax at each temperature and/or drain-source voltage Vds. Furthermore, we extracted the equivalent circuit parameters and discussed the trend of fT and fmax values. fT can be expressed by transconductance gm and gate capacitance Cg. gm decreases with increasing Lrd and Cg increases with increasing Lrd. fmax is mainly reflects the trend of drain conductance gd and gate-drain capacitance Cgd. The effect of gd is relatively large in the the longer Lrd region and the effect of Cgd is relatively large in the shorter Lrd region. |
