摘要: Abstract This study investigates the effect of impact ionization using Ir, Pt, Pd, Ti gate metals and direct correlation between these high work function low frequency noise (LFN) on an In0.4Al0.6As/In0.4Ga0.6As metamorphic electron mobility transistor (MHEMT). The DC, RF, cryogenic LFN is systematically studied discussed. Gate with functions are used to suppress kink leakage current. Experimental results suggest that Ir MHEMT exhibits superior thermal stable properties in a strong electrical field at various temperatures, associated gain, current, excellent low-frequency performance.
