   Abstract:
   The performance of long-gate and short-gate Al_0.48In_0.52As-Ga_0.47In_0.53As HEMTs fabricated in high-quality MBE (molecular-beam-epitaxially)-grown material is discussed. The device structures were grown lattice-matched to semi-insulating InP substrates. The typical layer consists of an AlInAs buffer, followed by an undoped GaInAs channel, a thin undoped AlInAs space, a doped AlInAs donor layer, an undoped AlInAs barrier layer, followed finally by an n⁺ GaInAs cap layer. The two epitaxial layer designs (wafers A and B) investigated to date differed only in the GaInAs channel thickness, 80 nm for wafer A and 40 nm for wafer B. Both the wafers exhibited sheet charge density n_s and mobility values of approximately 3.5×10¹² cm^-2 and 9500 cm² V^-1 S^-1 at 300 K and 3×10¹² cm^-2 and 30000 cm² V^-1 S^-1 at 77 K. Devices with 1.3-μm gate length were fabricated on both wafers. Transconductances of over 465 mS/mm at 300 K were measured on several devices on both wafers
