摘要：

We present on-wafer power measurements of 35 nm gate length InP HEMT amplifiers at 330 GHz. Various amplifiers are examined. The maximum output power of 1.78 mW is measured from a three stage amplifier. Additional output power may be possible but limited by our input power source level to saturate amplifiers. This result is the highest frequency on-wafer power measurement we are aware of reported to date, and demonstrates the technique we utilize to be a fast method of evaluating power performance of submillimeter wave amplifiers without the need to package devices.
