Abstract  We fabricated a set of symmetric gate-recess devices with gate length of 70nm. We kept the source-to-drain spacing (LSD) unchanged, and obtained a group of devices with gate-recess length (Lrecess) from 0.4μm to 0.8μm through process improvement. In order to suppress the influence of the kink effect, we have done SiNX passivation treatment. The maximum saturation current density (ID_max) and maximum transconductance (gm,max) increase as Lrecess decreases to 0.4μm. At this time, the device shows ID_max=749.6mA/mm at VGS=0.2V, VDS=1.5V, and gm_max=1111mS/mm at VGS=0.35V, VDS=1.5V. Meanwhile, as Lrecess increases, it causes parasitic capacitance Cgd and gd to decrease, making fmax drastically increases. When Lrecess=0.8μm, the device shows fT=188GHz and fmax=1112GHz.
