Abstract

Two-dimensional simulation of GaAs MESFETs with perfectly insulating substrate is made, and the results are compared with those for a case with more realistic semi-insulating substrate into which carriers call be injected. It is shown that the kink or sub-breakdown is explained by impact ionization of holes and the following hole trapping or hole accumulation in the semi-insulating substrate rather than by direct gate breakdown.
