This has resulted in considerable improvements in the techniques for direct extraction of accurate CAD based models. S-parameter measurements can now be performed on-wafer up to 120 GHz allowing for the extraction of small signal CAD models valid to millimeter wave frequencies. This has resulted in the realization of high performance, 20 dB gain at 110 GHz, MMICs for millimeter wave system applications. Optimized measurements systems for noise parameter measurement at microwave frequencies have been demonstrated. Combined with improved CAD models these also allow for the accurate extrapolation of noise parameters to millimeter wave frequencies. In the area of non-linear characterization, while confined to microwave frequencies, new sophisticated measurement systems are presently being developed. These systems operate in the time domain, thus allowing for measurement not only of RF input and output power but also the RF input and output voltage and current waveforms. This information is leading both to an improved understanding of non-linear transistor dynamic behavior and also to the extraction of accurate non-linear models.","PeriodicalId":119712,"journal":{"name":"1997 Advanced Workshop on Frontiers in Electronics, WOFE '97 Proceedings","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129406060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To minimize power consumption, it is essential to reduce the ungated electron currents in the on-state and the subthreshold leakage current in the off-state. III-V semiconductors are attractive for low power applications because of high electron mobility and saturation velocity. This allows the reduction of the drain supply voltage without sacrificing the current drive, transconductance (g/sub m/) and high frequency performance. However, the major drawback is the lack of a gate insulator (to allow for MOS technology) and a oxide buffer (to allow for the equivalent of SOI technology). Recently, there has been an increased interest in the wet oxidation of AlAs, mainly for current confinement applications in optical devices. We have developed insulated gate and oxide buffer technologies using the wet oxidation of AlGaAs to provide the insulator. In this paper the fabrication and performance of GaAs MISFET with Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ gate insulator, GaAs on insulator MESFET and pHEMT is presented. Also preliminary results using oxidized AlAsSb for the fabrication of oxide buffer AlInAs-GaInAs HEMTs is included.","PeriodicalId":119712,"journal":{"name":"1997 Advanced Workshop on Frontiers in Electronics, WOFE '97 Proceedings","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123139730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also show that any sample conductivity variation due to the photoconductive effect (carrier concentration variation due to light absorption) is largely exceeded by the volume modulation effect due to the width variations of the space charge regions.
