Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Compound semiconductor electron devices such as GaN-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have been expected as key devices for ultra-high-speed wireless communications and expansion of radio spectrum sources in millimeter- and submillimeter-wave frequency band (30 GHz - 3 THz) because these devices can operate at a frequency over 100 GHz. We have improved device performances of GaN-based HEMTs with nanoscale gates ($L_{g}$ < 100 nm) and obtained a maximum oscillation frequency ($f_{max}$) of 287 GHz for an In$_{0.18}$Al$_{0.82}$N/AlN/GaN HEMT on GaN substrate. Moreover, we have also developing and setting a free-space method system for S-parameter measurement of materials to estimate their dielectric constants at millimeter- and submillimeter-wave frequencies, which are needed to design monolithic circuits operated at these frequencies. In this talk, we introduce details of the system and technology, and reported dielectric constants of InP wafer, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and PS (polystyrene) films measured in 60-220 GHz.
