Abstract

A new field-effect transistor using a high-barrier n/sup +/ -GaAs/p/sup +/-InGaP/n-GaAs camel-like gate and GaAs/InGaAs heterostructure-channel has been fabricated successfully and demonstrated. Experimentally, an ultra high gate-drain breakdown voltage of 52 V, a high drain-source operation voltage over 20 V with low leakage currents, and a high drain-source off-state breakdown voltage of 39.7 V are obtained for a 1/spl times/100 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ device. The high breakdown behavior is attributed to the use of high barrier camel-like gate and heterostructure channels to reduce the undesired leakage current. Furthermore, the studied device also shows high breakdown behavior in a high temperature environment and good microwave characteristics. Therefore, based on these characteristics, the studied device is suitable for high-breakdown, low-leakage, and high-temperature applications.
