High Performance Ka-Band InAlN/GaN/AlGaN HFET on SiC

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ka-band radio-frequency(RF) performance of a InAlN/GaN/AlGaN HFET on SiC was reported. Based on a detailed delay analysis,a maximum drain current density of 1.12 A/mm was obtained. Power measurements were performed, the maximum output power density is 2.1 W/mm and a power-added efficiency (PAE) is 22.3% at 29 GHz. The current gain cut-off frequency (fT) is 60 GHz, and the power gain cut-off frequency (fMAX) is 105 GHz.
