Abstract
A field-effect transistor having a transconductance (gm) that remains within 65% of a maximum gm value over at least 85% of a gate voltage range that transitions the field-effect transistor between an on-state that allows substantial current flow through the channel layer and an off-state that prevents substantial current flow through the channel layer is disclosed. The field-effect transistor includes a substrate and a channel layer having a proximal boundary relative to the substrate and a distal boundary relative to the substrate. The channel layer is disposed over the substrate and comprises a compound semiconductor material that includes at least one element having a concentration that is graded between the proximal boundary and the distal boundary.
