Popis: We report for the first time high-frequency microwave noise performance on 0.17-μm T-gate In 0.17 Al 0.83 N/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) fabricated on Si(111). The HEMTs exhibited a maximum drain current density of 1320 mA/mm, a maximum extrinsic transconductance of 363 mS/mm, an unity current gain cutoff frequency (f T ) of 64 GHz and, a maximum oscillation frequency [fmax (U)/ f max (MSG)] of 72/106 GHz. The product f max (U) × L g =12.24 GHz· μm is the highest value ever reported for InAlN/GaN HEMTs on Si substrate. At V d =4 V and V g =-2.25 V, the device exhibited a minimum noise figure (NF min ) of 1.16 dB for 10 GHz and 1.76 dB for 18 GHz. Small variation of NF min (
