The application of a discrete pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (p-HEMT) as a grounded switch allows for the development of low cost phase shifters and phase modulators operating in a Ku band. This fills the gap in the development of phase control devices comprising p-i-n diodes and microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs). This paper describes a discrete p-HEMT characterization and modeling in switching mode as well as the development of a low-cost four-bit phase shifter and direct quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulator. The developed devices operate in a Ku band with parameters comparable to commercially available MMIC counterparts. Both of them are CMOS compatible and have no power consumption. The parameters of the QPSK modulator are very close to the requirements of available standards for satellite earth stations.

The aim of this work is to investigate and study the quantum effects in the modeling of nanoscale symmetric double-gate InAlAs/InGaAs/InP HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor). In order to do so, the carrier concentration in InGaAs channel at gate lengths ($L_g$) 100 nm and 50 nm, are modelled by a density gradient model or quantum moments model. The simulated results obtained from the quantum moments model are compared with the available experimental results to show the accuracy and also with a semi-classical model to show the need for quantum modeling. Quantum modeling shows major variation in electron concentration profiles and affects the device characteristics. The two triangular quantum wells predicted by the semi-classical model seem to vanish in the quantum model as bulk inversion takes place. The quantum effects thus become essential to incorporate in nanoscale heterostructure device modeling.

본 논문은 U-band(40~60 GHz)대역에 최적화된 epitaxial로 pHEMT(Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor)을 제작, 대신호 모델링하여 특성분석 및 60 GHz 대역의 3단 증폭기를 MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit)로 설계 제작하였다. 본 논문에 사용된 pHEMT는 $0.12\;{\mu}m$의 게이트 길이와 총 게이트 면적 $100\;{\mu}m$, $200\;{\mu}m$를 사용하여 대신호 모델링하였으며 설계시 안정도의 향상을 위하여 부궤환회로와 함께 MIM(Metal-Insulator-Metal) 커패시터 대신 MCLF(Microstriop Coupled Line Filter)를 사용하여 안정도를 향상시켰다. 제작결과 크기가 $2.5{\times}1.5mm^2$이고 소모된 전류는 약 40 mA, 동작주파수 59.5 ~ 60.5 GHz에서 이득 19.9 dB ~ 18.6 dB, 입력정합특성 -14.6 dB ~-14.7 dB, 출력정합 특성 -11.9 dB ~-16.3 dB와 출력 -5 dBm의 특성을 얻었다.

The components affecting the extrinsic transconductance (g_{m_ext}) in In_0.7Ga_0.3As quantum-well (QW) high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) on an InP substrate were investigated. First, comprehensive modeling, which only requires physical parameters, was used to explain both the intrinsic transconductance (g_{m_int}) and the g_{m_ext} of the devices. Two types of In_0.7Ga_0.3As QW HEMT were fabricated with gate lengths ranging from 10 ㎛ to sub-100 nm. These measured results were correlated with the modeling to describe the device behavior using analytical expressions. To study the effects of the components affecting g_{m_int}, the proposed approach was extended to projection by changing the values of physical parameters, such as series resistances (R_S and R_D), apparent mobility (𝜇_{n_app}), and saturation velocity (𝜈_sat).

An artificial neural network model for the microwave characteristics of an InGaAs/InP hemt for 70 nm gate length has been developed. The small-signal microwave parameters have been evaluated to determine the transconductance and drain-conductance. We have further investigated the frequency characteristics of the device. The neural network training have been done using the three layer architecture using Levenberg-Marqaurdt Backpropagation algorithm. The results have been compared with the experimental data, which shows a close agreement and the validity of our proposed model.
