摘要：
In this research work, a graded-channel AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) featuring a cliff AlGaN barrier with a gate length of 60 nm is investigated. The inclusion of a foot cliff barrier layer confines the 3DEG distribution, thereby reducing electron scattering and potentially improving carrier mobility. The cliff-graded-channel device shows a peak cutoff frequency fT of 253 GHz and power-added efficiency of 68% at 30 GHz, which represents a significant 60% improvement in comparison with conventional graded-channel devices. These results clearly indicate that the graded-channel AlGaN/GaN HEMT with a new cliff barrier design has great potential for mmW applications.
