Description
Summary:We present technology computer aided design (TCAD) results for wide band-gap Sn-doped α-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> metal–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs). In particular, the effect of gate work function and electrode gap length on the electrical characteristics is demonstrated for a thorough understanding of the behavior of such devices. The gate work function significantly affects the reverse bias drain current under the gate-current dominant regime, whereas a gate-source/drain gap larger than 0.1 µm has a negligible effect on the drain current.
