The properties of coplanar transmission lines (CPWs) and -filters on polycrystalline diamond substrates are investigated over the frequency range from 1-120 GHz. Experimental results obtained for different geometries are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. Coplanar transmission line technology was applied to flip-chip diamond substrates for power amplifier MMICs
Double recessed T-gate Alo.2GaO.8As/InO25GaO75As pseudomorphic HEMTs with 0.3 pm gate length and different upper recess widths have been processed and analyzed. Systematic investigations concerning the correlation between drain ledge, breakdown voltage and power performance have been carried out. An optimum upper recess width has been identified which yields to a high drain-source breakdown voltage of about 24 V. A state of the art saturated output power density of 1080 mW/mm at 2 GHz is demonstrated under CW-mode of operation. DC and power measurements are performed on wafers which are not thinned.
INTRODUCTIONFor power applications, e.g. in mobile or satellite communication systems, FETs with high gain, high power added efficiency (PAE) and high output power density are required. To achieve a higher output power density it
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.
