The arguments leading to the prediction of instability of plasma excitations in a drifting 2D electron gas given by Dyakonov and Shur are made more rigorous by treating a real high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) channel biased in its ohmic region (i.e., below pinchoff), including nonuniformity of the channel charge density. Expressions are derived for the changes in resonant frequency and gain of the Dyakonov–Shur modes arising from finite channel mobility and density nonuniformity to first order in the momentum relaxation time. It is found that channel nonuniformity (constriction) weakens the instability, in keeping with the recent results of Cheremisin and Samsonidze [Semiconductors 33, 578 (1999)], possibly explaining why it has not been observed in real HEMTs.
