  • Abstract
    A technology for fabrication of complementary silicon MESFETs on bulk silicon substrates has been developed. The technology is similar to CMOS technology, and utilises n-silicon substrates. P-wells are used for the n-channel devices. Device isolation was achieved by trench etching. The silicides of Er and Pt were used as gate Schottky contacts. P- and n-channel characteristics are presented together with subthreshold behaviour and preliminary results regarding radiation hardness. Also, results from two-dimensional simulations of the devices are presented.
