Question 327

Which of the following materials supports the highest frequency of operation when used in MMICs?

  1. Silicon
  2. Silicon nitride
  3. Silicon dioxide
  4. Gallium nitrideCorrect answer

Explanation

Of the materials listed only gallium nitride is a semiconductor suited to the highest frequencies, thanks to high electron velocity and a wide band gap that also allows high voltage and power density. Silicon works but runs out of frequency headroom sooner, and silicon nitride and silicon dioxide are insulators used as dielectrics rather than as the active material.
