This paper discusses the technology of state‐of‐the‐art GaN high electron mobility transistors (GaN‐HEMTs) used for millimeter‐wave amplifiers. A high maximum frequency of oscillation ( f max ) device with high breakdown voltage ( BV gd ) was focused on to improve the gain and efficiency of a millimeter‐wave amplifier. In this study, we demonstrated a high f max of 210 GHz with a BV gd of over 100 V using a novel Y‐shaped Schottky‐gate and GaN‐cap structure, for the first time. The effect of the AlGaN layer and the device dimensions were investigated to obtain a highly reliable millimeter‐wave power amplifier. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
