To achieve higher frequency operations of InP-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), the buried gate structures are used. In this work, we carried out Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As HEMTs with buried gate. We employed a T-shaped structure as a gate electrode. The maximum transconductance gm_max and gate capacitance Cg increase with increasing the buried depth d. The extent of increase in the gm_max is more than that in the Cg. As a result, the cutoff frequency fT increases with the buried depth d. These phenomena agree with our previous experimental results. We also carried out MC simulation of the rectangular gate HEMTs. The increase of the gm_max with increasing d is almost same as that of the Cg. The increase of fT with increasing d was not observed in the MC simulations of the rectangular gate HEMT. Therefore, the head of the T-shaped gate plays a very important role in determining the trend of fT. Furthermore, we obtained electron velocity in the channel layer. The average electron velocity in the channel under the gate electrode increases with increasing d. |
