A New 4H-SiC MESFET Utilizing N- Shielding and Field Plate Techniques Simultaneously

Article Preview

Abstract:

Some new techniques include n- shielding, buried channel and field plate are firstly adopted together for design and fabrication of 4H-SiC microwave MESFETs. The testing results show that a relatively broad and uniform transconductance versus gate voltage was obtained using a 0.1m n- shielding. 0.3mm gate periphery device shows good DC and RF performance such as 5.27W/mm power density, 6.7dB power gain and 43% power added efficiency at 2.3GHz under pulse operation. Compared to conventional SiC MESFETs, a gate lag ratio as high as 0.84 can be achieved for the developed devices even under a nearly actual operating condition.
