High reliability of 0.1 /spl mu/m InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMT MMICs on 3-inch InP substrates
The high-reliability performance of K-band MMIC amplifiers fabricated with 0.1 /spl mu/m gate length InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMTs on 3-inch wafers using a high volume production process technology is reported. Operating at an accelerated life test condition of Vds=1.5 V and Ids=150 mA/mm, two-stage balanced amplifiers were life tested at two-temperatures (T/sub 1/=230/spl deg/C, and T/sub 2/=250/spl deg/C) in nitrogen ambient. The activation energy (Ea) is as high as 1.5 eV, achieving a projected median-time-to-failure (MTF)>1/spl times/10/sup 6/ hours at a 125/spl deg/C junction temperature. MTF was determined by 2T constant current stress using |/spl Delta/S21|>1.0 dB as the failure criteria. This is the first report of high reliability 0.1 /spl mu/m InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMT MMICs based on small-signal microwave characteristics. This result demonstrates a reliable InGaAs/InAlAs/InP HEMT production technology.
