Abstract

A comb-shape MESFET has a gate electrode having a plurality of gate fingers coupled to a gate bar at the proximal ends of the gate fingers. The distal end of each gate finger is formed as a large width end on the inactive region of the wafer. The large width end prevents peel-off of the gate finger from the semiconductor layer, thereby improving reliability of the structure of the comb-shape MESFET.
