Abstract  We fabricated a set of symmetric gate-recess devices with gate length of 70nm. We kept the source-to-drain spacing ($L_{SD}$) unchanged, and obtained a group of devices with gate-recess length $(L_{recess})$ from 0.4$\mu$m to 0.8$\mu$m through process improvement. In order to suppress the influence of the kink effect, we have done SiN$_{X}$ passivation treatment. The maximum saturation current density ($I_{D\_max}$) and maximum transconductance ($g_{m,max}$) increase as Lrecess decreases to 0.4$\mu$m. At this time, the device shows $I_{D\_max}=749.6$mA/mm at $V_{GS}=0.2$V, $V_{DS}=1.5$V, and $g_{m\_max}=1111$mS/mm at $V_{GS}=-0.35$V, $V_{DS}=1.5$V. Meanwhile, as $L_{recess}$ increases, it causes parasitic capacitance $C_{gd}$ and $g_{d}$ to decrease, making $f_{max}$ drastically increases. When Lrecess=0.8$\mu$m, the device shows $f_{T}=188$GHz and $f_{max}=1112$GHz.
