Abstract:

The GaN HEMT is widely used in high-frequency aspects, use the T-gate to reduce gate resistance is one of the most effective methods to improve the the device maximum oscillation frequency (fmax). But fmax is very sensitive to T-gate size, improper selection may reduce fmax, Therefore, in order to reduce the cost of production, it is necessary to select appropriate simulation T-gate size. We have worked out AlGaN/GaN HEMT with gate length of 0.17μm and fmax values 110GHz. Accuracy of the simulation model is verified by experiment. Then detailed simulates the impact of the T-gate size and we obtain ptimized T-gate size range.
