Abstract: A MESFET with a relatively short channel and small source-to-gate and drain-to-gate spacing for minimal series resistance and maximum frequency response having no alignments or critical steps. In particular, a mask is used to define schottky metal as ohmic metal from the source/drain areas across a relatively undoped bare substrate to within a predetermined distance L of the schottky gate wherein the predetermined distance is a non-critical electrical short-circuit as to the surface of the bare substrate. Thus the source-to-gate and drain-to-gate distances are non-critical because the predetermined distance L can be as critically controlled as the single mask that defines it.

Abstract: A MOSFET structure having DMOS characteristics fabricated using all implantation only without the use of time-consuming diffusion. Particularly the critical length of the channel is controlled by beveling one edge of an oxide layer to a predetermined slope thereby allowing transferral of ions to the substrate through the beveled edge only to a predetermined depth thereof before being completely shielded. The result is a channel having a closely controlled length to thus be relatively very short for very fast switching of low or high voltage signals.
