Metal-semiconductor field effect transistors MESFETs

Fig. 9. A Schottky barrier gate used in the metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) in AT T gallium arsenide microchips. The tiny gate is only one micrometer wide (1/25,400 inch). The gate electrode is deposited before the ion-implantation process so that the gate material will shade the channel under it from the ion rain that doses the exposed material. (AT T Technology)...

Different types of SiC Field Effect Transistors, Metal Oxide Semiconductor Transistors (MOSFETs), Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MESFETs), and Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs) compete for future applications in high temperature and harsh environment electronics. This Datareview details these various types of FETs, the structures used and the performances obtained. Interesting recent developments and potential applications, such as FET integrated circuits, a hybrid operational amplifier and an inverter circuit are also outlined. 

The MOSFET can be understood by contrast with other field-effect devices, Kke the junction field-effect transistor (JFET) and the metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) (Hollis and Murphy, 1990). These other transistors modulate the conductance of a majority-carrier path between two ohmic contacts by capacitive control of its cross section. (Majority carriers are those in greatest abundance in...
