Cavity structure GaAs FETs with high humidity resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We have developed new cavity structure GaAs FETs with high humidity resistance. The cavity is formed by sealing up with air bridges and polymers around the FETs and covering the surface of the polymers with thick SiN films. As the cavities formed by the newly-developed process are completely airfilled, the high frequency characteristics of FETs are unaffected by the parasitic capacitances of the polymer films and the thick SiN films. Highly reliable DC operation of the cavity FETs is demonstrated for more than 96 hrs under Ta = 130 C, RH = 85% and Vdg = 11 V.

V. Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors
AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are used for digital and analog microwave applications with frequencies as high as Ku band. HBTs can provide faster switching speeds than silicon bipolar transistors mainly because of reduced base resistance and collector-to-substrate capacitance. HBT processing requires less demanding lithography than GaAs FETs, therefore, HBTs can cost les...
متن کاملDistributed Small Signal Modelling for Multi-port GaAs FETs
The design of Microwave and Millimeter-wave Monolithic Integrated Circuits (MMIC) requires a meaningful and accurate characterization of the electron device along with information about the changes caused by the process parameter variations. Meanwhile, increasing application of multi-port GaAs FETs, adopted for side-biasing in the higher level of MMIC integration, has led to increased research ...
متن کاملQuasi-ballistic carbon nanotube array transistors with current density exceeding Si and GaAs
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are tantalizing candidates for semiconductor electronics because of their exceptional charge transport properties and one-dimensional electrostatics. Ballistic transport approaching the quantum conductance limit of 2G 0 = 4e (2)/h has been achieved in field-effect transistors (FETs) containing one CNT. However, constraints in CNT sorting, processing, alignment, and conta...
متن کاملEffects of D-Doping on Characteristics of AlAs/GaAs Barriers Grown by Mba at 400 ??C
Effects of d-doping on barriers effective heights and series resistance of highly doped n-type GaAs/AIAs/GaAs/AlAs/GaAs heterostructures, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) at 400?°C, have been studied. As it was expected, inclusion of an n+ d-doped layer at each hetero-interface has reduced the barriers heights and series resistance of the structure significantly, while p+ d-doped layers ha...

P-type GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg mirrors have been grown using molecular beam epitaxy on (100) and (311)A GaAs substrates in a similar conditions. A comparison of I-V measurements shows that the resistance of the ungraded mirrors grown on the (311)A substrate is 35 times lower than those grown on the (100) substrate with similar structure. The effective barrier heights for both (311 )A and (1...
