Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The relationship between gate breakdown and surface stoichiometry in GaAs MESFET's passivated with SiO_2 film was investigated utilizing energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The gate breakdown is suppressed when the As/Ga ratio at about 1nm below the SiO_2/GaAs interface is more than unity. The FETs with low gate breakdown voltage show no correlation between the gate-drain spacing and the gate breakdown voltage. It suggests that, in these FET's, the electric field at the gate edge is elevated due to decrease of the negative surface (passivation interface) charge.
