The off-state gate-to-drain breakdown voltage （BVGD） defined at a gate current of-1 mA/mm is 2.85 V. Additionally, a current-gain cut-off frequency （fT） of 164 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency （fmax） of 390 GHz are successfully obtained; moreover, the fmax of our device is one of the highest values in the reported 0.15-μm gate-length lattice-matched InP-based HEMTs operating in a millimeter wave frequency range. The high gm,max, BVGD, fmax, and channel current collectively make this device a good candidate for high frequency power applications.展开更多
