Summary: 
We have developed a planar devic technology consisting of 0.15-µm Au/WSiN-gate GaAs-heterostructure MESFETs (HMESFETs) fabricated by self-aligned ion-implantation. The gate-drain breakdown voltage has been improved to 10 V by using an asymmetric LDD structure, and the maximum oscillation frequency is 190 GHz. Because asymmetric and symmetric FETs can be fabricated simultaneously, this technology is suitable for use in making multi-functional millimeter-wave MMICs.
