摘要
We review the status and discuss the limitations of the device and monolithic microwave integrated circuit technology for lattice-matched and pseudomorphic HEMTs grown on InP substrates. Some technological aspects will be discussed including layer growth, ohmic contact fabrication, electron-beam defined mushroom-shaped gates, uniformity of gate-recess etching, buried gate contacts and the effect of silicon nitride passivation on the device performance. Finally some device lifetime issues are discussed, including preliminary results of low-frequency dispersion measurements and a study of hot electron degradation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
