We report on the dc and rf characterization of laterally-scaled, Si/SiGe n-MODFETs. Devices with Lg = 80 nm and Lds = 300 nm had fT = 80 GHz and fmax = 210 GHz. Separate devices with Lg = 70 nm also had fT values as high as 92 GHz. The MODFETs displayed enhanced fT at reduced drain-to-source voltage, Vds, compared to Si MOSFETs with similar fT at high Vds.
