摘要: A self-supporting T-shaped gate (SST-gate) GaN device and process method using electron beam lithography are proposed. An AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) device with a gate length of 100 nm is fabricated by this method. The current gain cutoff frequency ($f_{\rm T})$ is 60 GHz, and the maximum oscillation frequency ($f_{\rm max})$ is 104 GHz. The current collapse has improved by 13% at static bias of ($V_{\rm GSQ}$, $V_{\rm DSQ}) = (-8 {\rm V}, 10 {\rm V})$, and gate manufacturing yield has improved by 17% compared with the traditional floating T-shaped gate (FT-gate) device.
