FPD750
0.5W POWER pHEMT
The FPD750 is an AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor
(pHEMT), featuring a 0.25
μmx750μm Schottky barrier gate, defined by high -reso-
lution stepper-based photolithography. The double recessed gate structure mini-
mizes parasitics to optimize performance. The epitaxial structure and processing
have been optimized for reliable high-power applications. The FPD750 also fea-
tures Si3N4 passivation and is available in the low-cost plastic SOT89, SOT343, and
DFN packages.
