Abstract

We examine the effect of thin AlInAs/GaInAs epitaxial layers on the propagation of electrical signals in coplanar waveguide transmission lines fabricated on semi-insulating indium phosphide substrates. We show that argon isolation implants effectively reduce conduction losses in these layers to negligible levels at radio, microwave, and millimeter-wave frequencies.
