ABSTRACT:
A high frequency, Schottky barrier gate, field-effect transistor is provided with a substantially constant impedance over a broadband of frequencies. The transistor is comprised of a thin dielectric layer providing an effective dielectric constant at gate and drain contacts greater than .sqroot.2. The dielectric layer is supported on the major surface of a conductor substrate, and is preferably 5 microns in thickness and has a dielectric constant greater than about 5. The transistor is also comprised of a thin semiconductor layer of less than about 2 microns in thickness at least at gate portions with an N-type concentration of between about 5 .times. 10.sup.14 and 5 .times. 10.sup.17 carriers/cm.sup.3. The gate contact of the transistor is an elongated Schottky barrier contact adjoining the semiconductor layer spaced between elongated source and drain contacts which make ohmic contact with the semiconductor layer. Means are also provided to maintain the source contact at substantially the same RF potential as the conductor substrate.
