Orientation effects on planar GaAs Schottky barrier field effect transistors (MESFET’s) have been found. Device characteristics of FET’s parallel to both [110] directions and both [100] directions are compared. Dependence of the characteristics on gate length has been measured for FET’s oriented in two perpendicular [110] directions. Preferential lateral diffusion is proposed to be the reason underlying these phenomena.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
