Abstract
A field effect transistor having an excellent transfer conductance and an improved gate leakage current and breakdown voltage is provided. In the transistor, a multiquantum barrier structure 4 is arranged between a gate and a channel layer 3 along a channel layer 3 and having an effect of reflecting incident overflowing carriers a s waves in with with phase conditions of total reflection allowing mutual enhancement of the incident and reflected wave in a region between a channel layer 3 and a gate electrode 10 and/or in a region opposite to the gate electrode 10 relative to the channel layer 3.
