N2 - We investigated the RF performance of short-gate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs in conjunction with the T-shaped gate structure. The T-shaped gates with three different gate-foot heights (h ∼100 nm) were formed and the cut-off frequency (fT) and gate-source capacitance (Cgs) were characterized. The fT increased monotonically as the gate length (Lg) decreased from 0.4 to 0.1 μn and the smaller-h devices showed smaller fT at all Lg. As for the relationship between Cgs and fT, the data points for all three samples are on the same line, and the smaller-h devices show the smaller Cgs. These results indicate that a stray capacitance at the source side of the gate top has a great effect on the RF characteristics in this device dimension.
