Abstract:
A channel layer made of undoped InGaAs, a carrier supply layer made of n-type AlGaAs, a Schottky layer made of disordered InGaP without a natural superlattice structure, and a cap layer made of GaAs are successively stacked on a compound semiconductor substrate. A gate electrode is formed on a part of the Schottky layer exposed at the opening of the cap layer. Source and dram electrodes are formed on the cap layer. The thickness of the Schottky layer is set at about 8 nm or less. As a result, the reverse breakdown voltage of the gate electrode becomes larger than that in the case of a Schottky layer made of AlGaAs.

The RF device of the present invention includes: a semiconductor substrate; and first and second semiconductor components provided on the substrate. Each of the components includes source electrodes, a gate electrode and a drain electrode. And multiple through holes, which pass through the substrate in the thickness direction, are opened in a region of the substrate between the two components. To enhance the effect of suppressing electrical interference between the components, a gap between two adjacent ones of the through holes is preferably smaller than the thickness of the substrate.

In the semiconductor switch of the present invention, the gate electrode, source electrode and drain electrode are formed such that the distance between the gate and the drain of an MESFET, assuming a shunt FET, is longer than the distance between the gate and the drain of an MESFET, assuming a through FET, so that the gate breakdown voltage of the MESFET, assuming a shunt FET, is increased without changing the gate breakdown voltage of the MESFET, assuming a through FET.
