The DCFL is suitable for LSI because it has a simple circuit structure, high speed, low power consumption, and a small number of elements per gate. However, in order to form E-type and D-type FETs on the same GaAs substrate, a method of controlling the threshold voltage by ion-implanting FET-forming regions under different ion-implanting conditions is adopted. .. That is, the E-type MESFET is a D-type MES
The conductive layer is formed thinner than the FET. However, in this method, it is necessary to perform ion implantation in two steps, and the threshold voltage is often deviated and the FET current balance is disturbed.
There is a drawback in that good operating characteristics cannot be obtained. This characteristic variation is often remarkable in the E-type MESFET.
