Abstract
In a DH-PHEMT the channel layer comprises InGaAs and the donor layers comprise In.sub.0.5-q (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x).sub.0.5+q P in which the mole fraction of Al is in the range of about 0.2.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.3. In another embodiment, an InAlGaP layer forms a Schottky barrier gate contact with a barrier height of about 1.0 eV and hence low leakage current. The devices exhibit high 2DEG density, current drivability, and breakdown voltage, making them suitable for low voltage application such as battery-powered, portable wireless equipment. The Schottky barrier contact may be used in devices other than HEMTs.
