Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of field effect transistors, and in particular relates to a 4H-SiC metal semiconductor field effect transistor with multi-sag buffer layers. Background technique [0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) has attracted people's attention due to its excellent electrical properties such as wide band gap, high critical electric field, high saturation drift velocity and high thermal conductivity, and has become the third-generation semiconductor material. These excellent properties make silicon carbide (SiC) often used in working conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, high frequency, and high power. SiC plays a major role in the application of microwave power devices, especially metal semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFETs), and has become a research hotspot in the field of microwave power devices in recent years. [0003] Among power devices in the microwave frequency band, 4H-SiC MESFETs have extrem...
