Assertion (A): A high electron mobility transistor is based upon modulation-doped (GaAs - AlGaAs) single heterojunction structure. Reason (R): HEMT shows a very high noise figure and very low gain at very high microwave frequencies up to 70 GHz.
Assertion (A): A high electron mobility transistor is based upon modulation-doped (GaAs - AlGaAs) single heterojunction structure. Reason (R): HEMT shows a very high noise figure and very low gain at very high microwave frequencies up to 70 GHz. Correct Answer (A) is true, but (R) is false
- The High Electron Mobility Transistor is a form of Field Effect Transistor (FET) that uses a junction between two materials with different bandgaps (i.e. a heterojunction) as the channel.
- The most common material used is aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAS) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) (Assertion is Correct)
- Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is generally used because it provides high-level basic electron mobility.
- The basic structure of HEMT is shown below.

Advantages:
- High Gain: HEMT’S have high gain at microwave frequencies because the charge carriers are almost exclusively the majority carriers. Minority carriers are not significantly involved.
- Low Noise: HEMT’S provide very low noise operation because the current variation in the devices is low. (Reason is False)
