Abstract

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.
