Abstract

The authors show that in a GaAs HEMT-based monolithic millimetre-wave integrated circuit process flow, prior to gate metallisation the introduction of a hydrofluoric acid cleaning process after gate recess etching results in a significant reduction in the Schottky diode turn-on voltage, series resistance and bias dependent RF junction resistance.
