We report fabrication and characterization of a 0.25-pm gate ion-implanted GaAs MESFET with a maximum current-gain cutoff frequency fi of 126 GHz. Extrapolation of current gains from biasdependent S-parameters at 70-100 percent of Idss yields f,'s of 108-126 GHz. It is projected that anf, of 320 GHz is achievable with 0.1-pm gate GaAs MESFET's. This clear demonstration of f,'s over 100 GHz with practical 0.25-pm gate length substantially advances the high-frequency operation limits of short-gate GaAs MESFET's.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
