Abstract

To perform the comparative study, we experimented on two differential epitaxial structures, the conventional Metamorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (MHEMT) using the InAlAs/InGaAs structure and the InP-composite channel MHEMT adopting the InAlAs/InGaAs/InP/n-InP structure. Compared to the conventional MHEMT, the InP-composite channel MHEMT shows improved breakdown performance; over about 3.5 V. This increased breakdown voltage can be explained by the lower impact ionization coefficient of the InP-composite channel MHEMT than that of the conventional MHEMT.
