Abstract
The quaternary (Al xGa 1-x) 0.5In 0.5P (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) compounds on GaAs substrates are important materials used as a Schottky layer in microwave devices. In this report, we systematically investigated the electrical properties of quaternary (Al xGa 1-x) 0.5In 0.5P materials and concluded that the best composition for improving the device performance is by substituting 30% (x = 0.3) of Ga atoms for Al atoms in GaInP material. The Schottky barrier heights (φ B) of (Al xGa 1-x) 0.5In 0.5P layers were 0.85 ∼ 1.00 eV. We successfully realized the (Al xGa 1-x) 0.5In 0.5P /In 0.15Ga 0.85As (x = 0, 0.3, 1.0) doped-channel FETs (DCFETs) and demonstrated excellent de, microwave, and power characteristics.
