Abstract

Oxygen ion implantation has been employed, for the first time, to form the high-resistance layer in the surface of GaAs MESFETs. Comparable DC and RF performance were achieved for MESFETs with and without oxygen ion implantation; however, MESFETs with the extra surface oxygen ion implantation demonstrated good breakdown performance, less frequency dispersion of drain current, and good time dependence of drain current at 150 °C in air. This enhancement is a result of the lower surface trapping effects resulting form a high-resistance layer by oxygen ion implantation. This approach relaxes the surface passivation problem in a standard GaAs MESFET.
