摘要
Low-frequency noises in GaAs MESFET are usually observed when investigating the drain current and substrate leakage current under sidegate bias conditions. Experimental results show that the magnitude of low-frequency noises is in a direct dependency upon the sidegate bias and the noises in drain current will disappear if sidegate bias increases more negatively beyond a certain voltage. A mechanism associated with the substrate conductivity and the channel-substrate junction modulated by sidegate bias is proposed to explain the fluctuation of low-frequency noises.
