MOS systems, presents GaAs MOSFET DC and RF data, and concludes with an outlook for high indium content channel MOSFETs. GaAs based MOSFETs are potentially suitable for RF power amplification, switching, and front-end integration in mobile and wireless applications while MOSFETs with high indium content channels are of interest for future CMOS applications.
