Abstract

In this letter, we report on the microwave power and efficiency performance of AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown by ammonia molecular beam epitaxy (ammonia-MBE) on SiC substrates. At 4 GHz, an output power density of 11.1 W/mm with an associated power-added efficiency (PAE) of 63% was measured at Vds = 48 V on passivated devices. At 10 GHz, an output power density of 11.2 W/mm with a PAE of 58% was achieved for Vds = 48 V. These results are the highest reported power performance for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs grown by ammonia-MBE and the first reported for ammonia-MBE on SiC substrates.
