Fig. 4B shows the measured S parameters for a Single Gate (SG) device and a Double Gate (DG) device, showing the improvement in Rds and the reduction in Cgd. Fig. 4C shows the calculated Rds for the device layout, given by the sum of the Rds for the 40nm RF gate and the Rds for the 150nm DC gate. The dual-gate device shown in fig. 1A mitigates Rds and Cgd nonlinearity, especially in short gate length devices, and fig. 4C shows the Rds value for short gate length GaN devices. At VddUnder 3V, Lg40nm and LgRds at 150nm was 15 ohm-mm and 35 ohm-mm, respectively. The Rds of a dual gate device is the sum of the Rds of the DC gate and the RF gate. Therefore, the total Rds is 50 ohm-millimeters, which is a desired design goal for Rds. By increasing the DC gate length, Rds can easily be further increased. The fabrication of a dual gate GaN HEMT device has been described in reference 11 above. As shown in fig. 4C, Rds can be increased from 15 ohm-mm for a 40nm single gate GaN HEMT to 50 ohm-mm for a dual gate GaN HEMT, and LFOM can be further enhanced by 2-3 dB.
