At the time, the goals of high-speed device development were logic circuits for supercomputers, more powerful radio-wave emitters for microwave applications, and low-noise amplifiers to detect very weak radio signals. The fastest transistor before HEMT’s invention was the GaAs Metal-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MESFET) invented in 1966. Historical Background of the Birth of HEMT The major historical significance concerning High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) is described in detail below.ġ. welcomes any visitors the prior notification is required before a visit.

HEMTs proved superior to previous transistor technologies because of their high mobility channel carriers, resulting in high speed and high frequency performance. The HEMT was the first transistor to incorporate an interface between two semiconductor materials with different energy gaps.
