Abstract:
We fabricate top-gate β-Ga₂O₃ nanomembrane metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) using a mechanical exfoliation method, and investigate its electrical performance. The Schottky contact between top-gate metal and β-Ga₂O₃ (100) channel is evaluated by characterizing properties of Schottky barrier diode, exhibiting an on/off ratio of ~106, an ideality factor of 2.8 and a turn-on voltage of 1.1 V. The proposed top-gate β-Ga₂O₃ nanomembrane MESFET exhibits maximum transconductance of ~0.23 mS/mm, field-effect mobility of 1.2 cm²/V·s at VDS = 1 V and subthreshold slope (SS) of 180 mV/dec with high on/off ratio of >107. These results suggest that β-Ga₂O₃ nanomembrane MESFET could be a promising component toward β-Ga₂O₃-based high power device applications.

Properties of Electric Field Lines
For one, the electric field of a positive charge must originate from it. That is because its electric field points away from it. Moreover, since the magnitude of the field asymptotes to zero at infinity, the...

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...

In the new picture, imagine that the first charge sets up an electric field independent of all other charges in the universe. When another charge comes in its vicinity, the second charge experiences an electric force depending on the electric field at that point. The source charge does not...
