Abstract
We have demonstrated that the 0.4 /spl mu/m gatelength 6 inch PHEMT device has well behaved I-V characteristics. MTTF of the device is 2x10/sup 6/ hours at 1000 C channel temperature. The activation energy is calculated to be E/sub A/=1.15 eV. The failure mechanism of the PHEMT device is found to be the recovery of the surface damage induced by the gate SiN plasma etch process.
