   Abstract:
   The status of lattice-matched high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) and pseudomorphic AlInAs-GaInAs grown on In substrates is reviewed. The best lattice-matched devices with 0.1-μm gate length had a transconductance g_m = 1080 mS/mm and a unity current gain cutoff frequency f_T = 178 GHz, whereas similar pseudomorphic HEMTs had g_m = 1160 mS/mm and f_T = 210 GHz. Single-stage V-band amplifiers demonstrated 1.3- and 1.5-dB noise figures and 9.5- and 8.0-dB associated gains for the lattice-matched and pseudomorphic HEMTs, respectively. The best performance achieved was a minimum noise figure of F_min = 0.8 dB with a small-signal gain of G_a = 8.7 dB.
