An analytical nonlinear model describing AlGaN/GaN HEMT's grown on SiC substrates has been extracted based on measured device data. The model accounts for dispersion in transconductance and output conductance present in the devices. Model validations based on comparisons with 16 GHz power sweep data show good agreement between the model predictions of a 3.3 W/mm power density (18% PAE) and the measurements for these devices.

It is well recognized that the use of low field mobility u and the diffusion constant D in the drift-diffusion equation becomes questionable in narrow based HBTs or short gate FETs. For short samples the transport parameters not only become field and position dependent, but also initial distribution dependent. Moreover, the diffusion constant, which is defined for a stationary process, becomes an ill-defined parameter in very short devices. In this paper a modified drift-diffusion model that can be used in sub-micron devices is reported.

A monolithic gallium nitride (GaN) cascode-connected HEMT distributed amplifier has been designed which offers increased efficiency by removal of the drain line dummy load. This amplifier uses a cascode gain cell to provide higher gain and power with a broadband (DC through 12 GHz) frequency response. A three-stage nonuniform distributed amplifier has been designed and fabricated.

A large-signal simulation study has been performed on 4H-SiC IMPATT oscillators. Peak power capability of more than 1 kilowatt, with greater than 15% power efficiency, was predicted for both Ka-band and X-band SiC IMPATT diodes. Prototype devices with single-drift regions and hi-lo doping profiles have been designed and fabricated. The first working SiC IMPATT oscillator has been demonstrated.

InN is predicted to exhibit higher saturation velocity than GaN for high Electron Mobility Transistor (HFET) applications. No field effect transistors have yet been made with InN channels because, to date, InN has been only prepared with undoped electron concentrations near 1x1020 cm-3. In this work growth of InN by the migration enhanced epitaxy (MEE) variation of the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique has been performed. Electron densities down to lower 1018 cm-3 have been obtained over a range of growth conditions with 300K mobilities in the range of 300-500cm2/Vs.

A static inverter was studied to explore RTD-based logic circuit behavior. Studies on output characteristics and power dissipation at high frequencies were included. To determine the maximum operating speed of the inverters, ring oscillators based on three stages of static inverters were fabricated and measured. The resultant data were analyzed in detail.

The present and predicted limits on microwave power performance of undoped AlGaN/GaN HEMT's are presented, based on measured frequency response and drain-source breakdown voltage, both as functions of gate length. The spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization that induce the 2DEG in these HEMT's are covered. Process methods, including Si3N4 passivation are included. Thermal simulation results are shown for heat dissipation that limits channel temperature to 300°C. Microwave cw power density limits of 12.5 W/mm at 10 GHz are predicted for class A operation on thick SiC substrates.

We report here the demonstration of over 30 watts of output power at X band from a single 12-mm SiC transistor under pulsed-mode conditions. For small (250-μm) devices, we also report record high power densities of 5.2 W/mm at 3.5 GHz and 4.5 W/mm at 10 GHz. The 12-mm MESFET's were tested in hybrid amplifiers, matched with chip capacitors and microstrip lines on 15-mil alumina. When operated at 9.7 GHz at a drain bias of 50 V and gate bias of -5.5 V, these hybrid amplifiers showed pulsed output power as high as 30.5 watts at 2-dB compression, with 7.6 dB linear gain. Furthermore, output power of greater than 27 W was obtained with devices from each of three wafers processed together, indicating the good wafer-to-wafer performance of the SiC power MESFET process.

Widely tunable laser diodes are currently regarded as promising light sources for WDM communication systems in which they can economically be used as spare transmitters. Their functionality could however also be useful in a number of new system concepts that are currently under investigation. For some of these new system concepts, it is relevant to know up to which bit rate the widely tunable laser diodes could be directly modulated. We have studied the direct modulation properties of 3 types of widely tunable laser diodes: the Altitun GCSR laser, the NTT SSG-DBR laser and the Marconi SGDBR laser. Different types of measurements, from parasitic-free RIN measurements to eye-diagram measurements and link experiments, have been carried out. None of the investigated laser designs however was particularly optimised for high-speed operation. From the RIN measurements, the K-factor and the theoretical maximum modulation frequency under small-signal modulation have been derived. For all investigated lasers and for typically 40 to 50 channels with a spacing of 100 GHz, the theoretical maximum modulation frequency was always found to be close to and generally over 10 GHz.
