  • Abstract
    Silicon carbide (SiC) MESFETs were fabricated by using a standard SiC MESFET structure with the application of the multi-recessed gate in the process. The multi-recessed gate structure is effective in increasing the output power density, due to higher breakdown voltage. A 250 m gate periphery SiC MESFET biased at a drain voltage of 65 V demonstrated a pulsed wave saturated output power of 2.24 W with a linear gain of 8 dB at 2 GHz. RF power output greater than 8.9 W/mm was achieved, showing the potential of these devices for high-power operation.
