Abstract: | GaAs-based metamorphic HEMTs (MHEMT) consist of GaAs substrates and InP-based epitaxial structure, and have the advantages of both InP HEMT’s excellent performances and GaAs-based HEMT’s mature processes. GaAs-based MHEMTs were applied to millimeter-wave low-noise, high-power applications and systems. The current gain cut-off frequency (f T) and the maximum oscillation frequency (f max) are important performance parameter of GaAs-based MHEMTs, and they are limited by the gate-length mainly. Electron beam lithography is one of the lithography technologies which can be used to realize the deep submicron gate-length. The 200 nm gate-length GaAs-based MHEMTs have been fabricated by electron beam lithography. In order to reduce the parasite gate capacitance and gate resistance, a trilayer resist structure was used to pattern the T-gate resist profile. Excellent DC, high frequency and power performances have been obtained. F T and f max are 105 GHz, 70 GHz respectively. The research is very helpful to obtain higher performance GaAs-based MHEMTs.
