Abstract

The kink (or an abnormal increase in output conductance with the drain voltage) in GaAs FETs can occur due to a space-charge effect originated from generated hole capturing by surface states around the gate. Here, device-structure dependence of kink phenomena in GaAs MESFETs is studied particularly by simulating structures that are intended to reduce the surface-state effects at the source side, such as a recessed-gate structure and a structure with n+-source region.
