Abstract :
The authors have developed a novel sub-quarter-micrometre WSi sidewall gate GaAs MESFET (SIG-FET) fabrication process. In this process, using WSi sidewalls as gate electrodes, the gate length is controlled only by the thickness of a WSi thin film deposited by sputtering, and sub-quarter-micrometre gates can be fabricated easily without using photolithography. The 0.15 μm-gate SIG-FET has exhibited ft=5O GHz and fmax=120 GHz
