Abstract

See full text

A method for reducing the field dependence of an off-state current flow condition in a field-effect transistor having a source electrode, a drain electrode and a gate electrode, includes the steps of: applying a far off-state bias between the drain electrode and the gate electrode to drive a conduction channel in the field effect transistor into a far off-state; and applying a far off-state bias between the source electrode and the gate electrode to again drive the conduction channel into a far off-state; wherein both applying steps cause application of the far off-state bias for a sufficient time to reduce gate voltage dependency of off-state current flow in the conduction channel during a period when an off-state potential is applied to the gate electrode.
