Abstract(in English) In this study, we demonstrated a dual-gate enhancement/enhancement E/E-mode and enhancement/depletion (E/D) mode AlGaAs/InGaAs pHEMTs technology for high voltage and high power amplifier application. The dual-gate devices shows the higher breakdown voltage (V_
) and maximum oscillator frequency (f_) due to two depletion regions can also share total electrical field in the device so that the higher output resistance (R_) and lower gate-to-drain capacitance (C_) can be obtain. Therefore, the dual-gate device can be operated at higher drain-to-source voltage (V_) to obtain excellent linear gain and output power performance as compared with conventional single-gate E-mode device. The maximum oscillation frequency increases from 78 GHz to 123 GHz under V_=4V biasing for single gate the E-mode and dual-gate E/E-mode device and the rf maximum output power increases from 636mW/mm to 810mW/mm under a 2.4 GHz operation for single gate the E-mode and dual-gate E/D-mode device, respectively. And, we also demonstrated a 2.4 GHz ultra-high gain and high power density two-stage power amplifier using dual gate E/E and E/D-mode transistors, where the E/E-mode pHEMTs for gain-stage, and E/D-mode pHEMTs for power-stage, respectively. The linear gain of 40 dB and maximum output power of 24 dBm were obtained at V_=4V I_=30mA 0.5-um (gate length)×2 (fingers)×75-um (gate width), and V_=9V I_=100mA for 0.5×8×75-um^2 E/D-mode pHEMTs respectively.
