In this article we report the optimization of a power double heterostructure pseudomorphic FET. A ID model is used for charge control calculation and a 2D simulation for breakdown analysis. These simple models have allowed us to determine the suitable doping densities and device structure for maximum current density and breakdown performances. The results have been applied to the design of a 0.3‐μm × 70‐μm device. At 33 GHz it delivers an output power density of 1 W/mm with 5.7‐dB linear gain and 38% power added efficiency. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
