Abstract

The invention relates to a field effect transistor for ultra-high frequencies, whose gate has a metal-insulator structure with a metal leak. This transistor has a substrate, an active layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode. Thus, its gate comprise a first metal coating forming a Schottky junction with the active layer, a dielectric layer having a controlled leak and a second control gate metal coating. The leak in the dielectric is adjusted in such a way that the Schottky interface and the control gate are in electrical balance at high frequencies. The dielectric is a metal-rich, non-stoichiometric oxide or nitride. Application to high-speed integrated circuits on GaAs.
