Abstract

JFET's with gate lengths ranging from 1$\mu$m to 8.3$\mu$m are successfully fabricated on InP substrate where the long haul (1.3$\mu$m~8.3$\mu$m) OEIC's(OptoElectronic Integrated Circuits) have been made. The pn junction of InP JFET's is made by co-implantation and RTA process. JFET's have etched-mesa-gate structure and the maximum gm larger than 90mS/mm was measured and this is the highest record in JFET's of such structure without S/D n$^{+}$ ion implantation. To maintain maximum g$_m$ should be well controlled the overetch of n-layer which inevitably occurs during etching off the unused p-layer. The I-V characteristic is checked during p-layer etch, for this purpose. A dc voltage gain of 11 is obtained from a preamplifier circuit thus fabricated.
