Abstract

The Modulation Doped Transistor (MODFET) has recently achieved its predicted performance goals, thus demonstrating its potential for providing the semiconductor transistor component necessary for future high speed and millimeter wave integrated systems. This high performance has been achieved through i) the optimization of MBE growth of pseudomorphic heterojunctions, ii) modifications to the epitaxial layer design based on new physical insight into the operation of MODFET structures at high frequency and iii) improvements in the FET fabrication and “layout” structure (geometry) to minimize resistive and reactive parasitic impedances.
