Abstract :
A numerical method for calculating the I-V characteristics of a GaAs MESFET with ion implanted layer is presented. This method is based on the finding of the channel conductance as a function of the voltage drop across the metal-semiconductor junction which in turn is related to the depletion depth of the active layer through the solution of Poisson´s equation
