70-nm-gated InAIN/GaN HEMTs grown on SiC substrate with fT/fmax 〉 160 GHz

lnA1N/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors （HEMTs） on SiC substrate were fabricated and character- ized. Several techniques, consisting of high electron density, 70 nm T-shaped gate, low ohmic contacts and a short drain-source distance, are integrated to gain high device performance. The fabricated InA1N/GaN HEMTs exhibit a maximum drain saturation current density of 1.65 A/ram at Vgs = 1 V and a maximum peak transconductance of 382 mS/rnm. In addition, a unity current gain cut-off frequency （fT） of 162 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency （fmax） of 176 GHz are achieved on the devices with the 70 nm gate length.
