Abstract(in English) A 0.8W/mm high power pHEMT with high humidity resistance is reported. By using tantalum nitride as the refractory gate metal and a silicon nitride layer prepared by a catalytic chemical vapor deposition technique for passivation of this transistor, tough moisture resistance was obtained showing less than 10% Id degradation even after 1000 hours at 130 degrees centigrade and 85% humidity. The structure modifications hardly affect transistor characteristics. A one-stage prematched amplifier with the new pHEMT has achieved 0.8W/mm output power at Vds=8V, with 8.5dB gain and 40% power added efficiency in the Ka-band. These are some of the highest power figures ever reported.
