摘要
This paper reports the first demonstration of a microwave-frequency operation of a GaAs MOSFET fabricated using a wet thermal oxidization of InAlP lattice-matched to GaAs to form a native-oxide gate insulator. Devices with 1-mu m gate lengths exhibit a cutoff frequency (f(t)) of 13.7 GHz and a maximum frequency of oscillation (f(max)) of 37.6 GHz, as well as a peak extrinsic transconductance of 73.6 mS/mm. A low-leakage current density of 3.8 x 10(-3) A/cm(2) at 1-V bias for an MOS capacitor demonstrates the good insulating properties of the similar to 11-mn thick native gate oxide.
