epilayer structure on which they are fabricated is optimized in order to achieve ultrahigh-
frequency oscillations. Practical considerations, such as the limitations of the technological
fabrication process and the mitigation of the huge self-heating effects expected to appear in
the devices, have been also contemplated for the choice of the optimal epilayer parameters.
The best results are obtained for an active layer thickness of 150 nm with doping of 5 cm− 3 …
