   Abstract:
   The millimeter-wave performance is reported for Al_0.48In_0.52As-Ga_0.47In_0.53As high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) with 0.2-μm and 0.1-μm-long gates on material grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on semi-insulating InP substrates. Devices of 50-μm width exhibited extrinsic transconductances of 800 and 1080 mS/mm, respectively. External f_T (maximum frequency of oscillation) of 120 and 135 GHz, respectively, were measured. A maximum f_T of 170 GHz was obtained from a 0.1 × 200-μm² device. A minimum noise figure of 0.8 dB and associated gain of 8.7 dB were obtained from a single-stage amplifier at frequencies near 63 GHz.
