摘要
The influence of field plates and surface traps on silicon carbide MESFETs for microwave operation was investigated. By increasing the length of gate-connected field plates from 50 to 800 nm, it was possible to increase the gate-drain breakdown voltage of the devices from 125 to 170 V. At the same time, the current slump effect of traps in the passivation oxide was reduced. By using a combination of field plates and a passivation oxide with low interface trap density, it was possible to reach an output power density of 8 W/mm at 3 GHz.
