Abstract

RF and microwave noise performances of strained Si/Si_0.58Ge_0.42 n-MODFETs are presented for the first time. The 0.13 μm gate devices have de-embedded f_T = 49 GHz, f_max = 70 GHz and a record intrinsic g_m = 700 mS/mm. A de-embedded minimum noise figure NF_min = 0.3 dB with a 41 Ω noise resistance R_n and a 19 dB associated gain G_ass are obtained at 2.5 GHz, while NF_min = 2.0 dB with G_ass = 10 dB at 18 GHz. The noise parameters measured up to 18 GHz and from 10 to 180 mA/mm with high gain and low power dissipation show the potential of SiGe MODFETs for mobile communications.
