Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor mit einem Quellen-Anschluss, einem Senken-Anschluss und einem Gate-Anschluss, wie er allgemein unter der Bezeichnung "JFET" für Junction Field Effect Transistor geläufig ist.The invention relates to a JFET with a source connection, a drain connection and a gate connection, as he's commonly called "JFET" for junction Field effect transistor common is.
Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistoren nach dem Stand der Technik haben allgemein den Nachteil, dass deren Strom-Spannungskennlinie nicht linear ist. Im einzelnen handelt es sich um die Kennlinie, bei der eine Spannung zwischen der Quelle und dem Gatter des Feldeffekttransistors gegen den Senkenstrom aufgetragen ist. Werden solche Transistoren als Verstärker-Bauelemente benutzt, muss diese Kennlinie durch geeignete Maßnahmen linearisiert werden. Zu diesen Maßnahmen gehört eine Rückkopplung eines von dem Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor verstärkten Signals zu einer Ausgleichschaltung, so dass externe Bauelemente zur Linearisierung des Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistors erforderlich sind. Die erforderliche Rückkopplung bewirkt außerdem dass der Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor hinsichtlich der Verarbeitung höherer Frequenzen beschränkt ist.Junction field effect transistors according to the prior art generally have the disadvantage that their Current-voltage characteristic is not linear. In particular, it is the characteristic curve at which a voltage between the source and the gate of the field effect transistor is plotted against the sink current. Such transistors as amplifier components used, this characteristic must be linearized using suitable measures. About these measures heard a feedback one of the junction field effect transistor increased Signal to an equalization circuit so that external components required to linearize the junction field effect transistor are. The feedback required also causes that the junction field effect transistor in terms of processing higher Frequencies limited is.
Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor zu schaffen, bei dem die oben genannte Kennlinie im wesentlichen linear verläuft, abgesehen von einem üblicher Weise auftretenden Sättigungsbereich.The invention is based on this based on the task of a junction field effect transistor create, in which the above-mentioned characteristic curve is essentially linear runs, aside from a more common one Way occurring saturation range.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei dem eingangs genannten Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor dadurch gelöst, dass der Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor gemäß einer Symmetrie eines Zylinders aufgebaut ist, wobei ein dem Gatter-Anschluss zugeordneter Gatter-Bereich von einer ersten Endfläche aus im wesentlichen um die Achse des Zylinders herum angeordnet ist, der Gatter-Bereich von der ersten Endfläche aus von einem Sperrschicht-Bereich umgeben ist, der Sperrschicht-Bereich von der ersten Endfläche aus von einem dem Senken-Anschluss zugeordneten Senken-Bereich umgeben ist und der Quellen-Anschluss im wesentlichen auf der Zylinderachse in einem Abstand zu dem Sperrschicht-Bereich auf einer zweiten Endfläche angeordnet ist.This task is at the beginning called junction field effect transistor solved by that the junction field effect transistor according to one Symmetry of a cylinder is built, with a gate connection assigned gate area from a first end face is arranged essentially around the axis of the cylinder, the gate area from the first end face from a junction area is surrounded, the barrier layer area from the first end surface surrounded by a sink area assigned to the sink connection and the source connection is essentially on the cylinder axis spaced from the junction area on a second end surface is.
Berechnungen des Erfinders, die später erläutert werden, zeigen, dass bei Einhaltung der Zylindersymmetrie für den Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor der Senkenstrom von der Spannung zwischen Quelle- und Gatter-Anschluss im wesentlichen linear abhängt.Calculations by the inventor, which will be explained later show that if the cylinder symmetry for the junction field effect transistor is observed the sink current from the voltage between the source and gate connection depends essentially linearly.
Dabei kann bevorzugt ein Substrat für den Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor n-leitend und der Gatter-Bereich p+-dotiert sein. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren näher erläutert.In this case, a substrate for the junction field-effect transistor can preferably be n-conducting and the gate region p + -doped. An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the figures.

Dem Gatter-Anschluss G zugeordnet ist ein Gatter-Bereich GB zylindrischer Form, der sich entlang der Zylinderachse erstreckt, p+-dotiert ist und in einem Abstand zum Quellen-Anschluss S endet.Associated with the gate connection G is a gate region GB of cylindrical shape, which extends along the cylinder axis, is p + -doped and ends at a distance from the source connection S.
Der Gatter-Bereich GB ist, wie aus

Bei angelegter positiver Spannung an der Senke D und negativer Spannung am Gatter G, sowie geerdeter Quelle S, bildet sich um den zylinderförmigen Gatter-Bereich GB der kegelstumpfförmige Sperrschichtbereich DL aus, durch den der leitende Substrat-Bereich SB des Transistors verkleinert wird und der Stromfluss von der Quelle S zur Senke D gesteuert werden kann.When positive voltage is applied to the sink D and negative voltage is applied to the gate G, and the source S is grounded, the frustoconical barrier layer region DL is formed around the cylindrical gate region GB, through which the conductive substrate region SB of the transistor is reduced and the current flow from source S to sink D can be controlled.
Ein dem Senken-Anschluss D zugeordneter Substrat-Bereich SB ist von der ersten Endfläche 1 bis zu der zweiten Endfläche 2 zylinderförmig und umgibt den Sperrschicht-Bereich DL, wobei für den Substrat-Bereich SB n-Dotierung vorliegt.A assigned to the sink connection D. Substrate region SB is cylindrical and from the first end surface 1 to the second end surface 2 surrounds the barrier layer area DL, with n-doping for the substrate area SB is present.

Nach dem dort näher dargestellten Modell für einen
Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistor ergibt sich hinsichtlich eines
Anlaufbereichs in einem Kanal zwischen Quelle und Senke der folgende
Zusammenhang: mit der Stromdichte J, der
Spannung Uk (x), die an einem Wirkwiderstand des Kanals abfällt und
der spezifischen Leitfähigkeit σ. Die x-Koordinate
ist definiert durch die Richtung von dem Senken-Anschluss D zu dem Quellen-Anschluss
S und wird in
Ein ortsunabhängiger Senkenstrom (Drainstrom)
ergibt sich durch Multiplikation der Stromdichte J mit einem stromführenden
Querschnitt des Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistors.
Dieser stromführende
Querschnitt ist bei der Zylindersymmetrie des Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistors
gegeben durch:
Damit ergibt sich für den Senkstrom ID: This results in the lower current I D :
Für den Grenzverlauf des Sperrschicht-Bereichs w(x) gilt näherungsweise der folgende Zusammenhang: mit der materialspezifischen Diffusions-Spannung UD, der Spannung zwischen Quellen-Anschluss und Gatter-Anschluss USG und dem sogenannten "Pinch Off"-Potential VPO.The following relationship approximately applies to the boundary course of the junction region w (x): with the material-specific diffusion voltage U D , the voltage between the source connection and gate connection U SG and the so-called "pinch-off" potential V PO .
Einsetzen von Gleichung (4) in Gleichung (3) in Bezug auf w(x) führt zu:Substituting equation (4) into equation (3) in relation to w (x) leads to:
Für das Wegintegral zwischen einem Punkt x1 zwischen Gatter-Anschluss G und Quellen-Anschluss S und einem Wert 1, der durch die Länge des Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistors zwischen den beiden Endflächen definiert ist, ergibt sich: For the path integral between a point x1 between gate connection G and source connection S and a value 1, which is defined by the length of the junction field-effect transistor between the two end faces, the following results:
Da die Quelle geerdet ist, gilt Uk(x = 1) = O, so dass Since the source is grounded, Uk (x = 1) = O, so that
Unterhalb eines Sättigungsbereiches des Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistors gilt Uk(x1) = UDS, mit x1 = 0, so dass Below a saturation range of the junction field-effect transistor, Uk (x1) = U DS applies, with x1 = 0, so that
Unterhalb der Sättigung des Sperrschicht-Feldeffekttransistors liegt somit ein linearer Zusammenhang zwischen dem Senkenstrom ID und der Spannung zwischen Quelle und Gatter USG vor, denn es gilt: Below the saturation of the junction field-effect transistor, there is therefore a linear relationship between the sink current I D and the voltage between the source and the gate U SG , because the following applies:
