PRELIMINARY
CRF240ꢀ0
ꢀ0 W, SiC RF Power MESFET
Cree’s CRF24010 is an unmatched silicon carbide (SiC) RF power Metal-
Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MESFET). SiC has superior
properties compared to silicon or gallium arsenide, including higher
breakdown voltage, higher saturated electron drift velocity, and higher
thermal conductivity. SiC MESFETs offer greater efficiency, greater power
density, and wider bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors.
