摘要: The influence of HFET layout and via holes on the feedback capacitance passive non-gated as well active HFETs has been examined. We have found that by careful design using via-hole for source grounding it is possible to reduce capacitance, thus improving high frequency characteristics HFET. total was reduced 70 % a device with varying one parameter. Results InP-based without via-holes show decrease 40 an InAlAs/InGaAs/InP maximum stable gain at GHz Was increased 1.5 dB changing layout.
