High Johnson’s figure of merit (8.32 THz·V) in 0.15-µm conventional T-gate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on silicon

AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) with a 0.15-µm gate were fabricated on a Si substrate with an 8-nm-thick AlGaN barrier. The device exhibited a unity current gain cutoff frequency fT of 63 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency fmax of 124 GHz. Its three-terminal OFF-state breakdo...
