Popis: For the first time, a III-V compound semiconductor MOSFET with the gate dielectric grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is demonstrated. The novel application of the ALD process on III-V compound semiconductors affords tremendous functionality and opportunity by enabling the formation of high-quality gate oxides and passivation layers on III-V compound semiconductor devices. A 0.65-/spl mu/m gate-length depletion-mode n-channel GaAs MOSFET with an Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ gate oxide thickness of 160 /spl Aring/ shows a gate leakage current density less than 10/sup -4/ A/cm/sup 2/ and a maximum transconductance of 130 mS/mm, with negligible drain current drift and hysteresis. A short-circuit current-gain cut-off frequency f/sub T/ of 14.0 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency f/sub max/ of 25.2 GHz have been achieved from a 0.65-/spl mu/m gate-length device.
