Popis: We have demonstrated a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) regrowth technique on GaAs Substrate using thin In-passivation layer. After the growth of buffer layers, the substrate temperature was lowered to deposit a thin In layer at about 50/spl deg/C, to ensure a uniform In coverage. These samples were then removed from the MBE system and left at atmosphere for weeks, before being reloaded back to MBE for the regrowth of a pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT). Hall measurements indicated comparable results between the regrowth and reference samples. C -V depth profiling on the regrown PHEMT revealed no sign of residual charge-carriers at the interface. The regrown PHEMT with 1-um gate length has transconductance as high as 330 mS/mm and f/sub T/ of 23 GHz. These results indicate the In-regrowth may serve as a useful technique for obtaining complex circuits on the same chip.
