摘要
The power performance of AlGaN/GaN MODFETs grown on semi-insulating BC is reported. The epitaxial layers were grown by MOCVD with a good uniformity and excellent carrier mobility of 1300cm(2)/Vs at room temperature. Devices with gate length of 0.3 mu m were fabricated and characterised, yielding a record transconductance of 300 mS/nm. Active load-pull measurements yielded 594mW total output power at 20GHz. At 15GHz a total output power of 3.3W was measured. To the authors' knowledge: these results represent the highest output power so far achieved From a single GaN-device at Ku and K-band.
