ABSTRACT:
A MESFET and method for fabricating a MESFET are provided. The method includes forming an n-type channel portion in a substrate and forming a p-type channel portion in the substrate. A boundary of the n-type channel portion and a boundary of the p-type channel portion define an intrinsic region in the substrate.
