FPD2250
1.5W POWER pHEMT
The FPD2250 is an AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transis-
tor (pHEMT), featuring a 0.25
μmx2250μm Schottky barrier gate, defined by high-
resolution stepper-based photolithography. The recessed gate structure minimizes
parasitics to optimize performance. The epitaxial structure and processing have
been optimized for reliable high-power applications. The FPD2250 is also available
in the low-cost plastic SOT89 package.
