Direct current and microwave characteristics of sub-micron AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors on 8-inch Si(111) substrate

We report for the first time the DC and microwave characteristics of sub-micron gate (∼0.3 µm) AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) on 8-in. diameter Si(111) substrate. The fabricated sub-micron gate devices on crack-free AlGaN/GaN HEMT structures exhibited good pin.-off characterist...
