摘要: The linearity of conventional pseudomorphic AlGaAs/InGaAs/AlGaAs high-electron mobility transistors with planar doping in the AlGaAs layers is shown to degrade at low temperatures down -40°C, as measured by adjacent-channel power ratio under wideband code-division multiple-access modulation. A modified structure, which Si are placed within thin single GaAs quantum wells inside barrier layers, eliminates this degradation. Deep-level transient spectroscopy and persistent photocapacitance measurements show that trapping on DX centers effectively eliminated. improvements therefore attributed elimination trapping. Self-consistent solutions Schro?dinger Poisson equations transfer donor electrons into channel essentially same structures.
