Abstract
A field-effect transistor (FET) in which a gate electrode is located between a source electrode formed on one side of the gate electrode and a drain electrode formed on the other side, a source ohmic contact is formed under the source electrode and a drain ohmic contact is formed under the drain electrode. In the FET, the rise in the channel temperature is suppressed, the parasitic capacitance with a substrate is decreased, and the temperature dependence of drain efficiency is reduced, so that highly efficient operation can be achieved at high temperatures. The drain electrode is divided into a plurality of drain sub-electrodes spaced from each other and an insulating region is formed between the drain ohmic contacts formed under the drain sub-electrodes.
