Abstract

MOSFET embodiments of the present invention provide highly linear transfer characteristics (e.g., I v. V ) and can be used effectively in linear power amplifiers. These linear transfer characteristics are provided by a MOSFET having a channel that operates in a linear mode and a drift region that simultaneously supports large voltages and operates in a current saturation mode. A relatively highly doped transition region is preferably provided between the channel region and the drift region. Upon depletion, this transition region provides a potential barrier that supports separate and simultaneous linear and current saturation modes.
