Enhancement mode, Schottky-barrier gate gallium arsenide field effect transistor

TLDR
In this article, a gate metalization is applied to the FET channel region, and the gate is exposed to the bombardment of protons with sufficiently high energy to penetrate through the gate and enter the channel region.
Abstract
Disclosed is a new process for fabricating field effect transistors, and particularly enhancement mode and depletion mode Schottky-gate field effect transistors. The process includes the steps of forming a thin layer of gate metalization over the FET channel region, and this gate metalization is then exposed to the bombardment of protons with sufficiently high energy to penetrate through the gate metalization layer and enter the channel region of the FET and there produce deep level energy traps in the channel region. These traps serve to tie up carriers and create donor and acceptor vacancy complexes in the FET channel. This step has the effect of raising the resistivity of the FET channel and is used to make the FET device non-conducting with zero voltage on the gate metalization, i.e., an enhancement mode device.
