Evaluation of linearity at 30 GHz for N-polar GaN deep recess transistors with 10.3 W/mm of output power and 47.4% PAE

Brian Romanczyk et al.

Summary: This study improved the performance of GaN devices in the Ka-band by modifying a W-band deep recess HEMT, achieving higher power density and power-added efficiency. While traditional evaluations focused on one-tone CW power measurements, high linearity is crucial for applications like mm-wave 5G cellular communication.

6.2 W/Mm and Record 33.8 PAE at 94 GHz From N-Polar GaN Deep Recess MIS-HEMTs With ALD Ru Gates

Wenjian Liu et al.

Summary: This study reports on the W-band power performance of N-polar GaN deep recess MIS-HEMTs using a new ALD ruthenium gate metallization process. The use of deep recess structure helps control DC-RF dispersion and increase conductivity in the access regions, while ALD ruthenium effectively fills narrow T-gate stems to achieve shorter gate lengths and lower gate resistance. With a gate length scaled down to 48 nm, a record high 8.1 dB linear transducer gain was achieved at 94 GHz, resulting in a record 33.8% power-added efficiency and output power density of 6.2 W/mm.
