  MESFET - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The difference is that instead of a using a p-n junction for a gate, a Schottky (metal-semiconductor) junction is used.
MESFETs are usually constructed in GaAs, InP, or SiC (never silicon), and hence are faster but more expensive than silicon-based JFETs or MOSFETs.
MESFETs are operated up to approximately 30 GHz and are commonly used for microwave frequency communications and radar.

 MESFET
The control of the channel is obtained by varying the depletion layer width underneath the metal contact which modulates the thickness of the conducting channel and thereby the current.
The key advantage of the MESFET is the higher mobility of the carriers in the channel as compared to the MOSFET.
The disadvantage of the MESFET structure is the presence of the Schottky metal gate.

 ANADIGICS: Engineers Room - GaAs MESFETs are Expected to Make BIG GAINS in Portable Communications Applications
GaAs MESFET devices are similar to silicon metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) in that they are majority carrier devices.
Breakdown voltage for the MESFETs and diodes can be as high as 25 V. ANADIGICS expects GaAs MESFETs to be useful in charge-pump DC-to-DC converters and pulse width-modulated (PWM) DC-to-DC step upconverters and step downconverters.
Use of the smaller SOT-25 package is made possible by the low ON resistance of GaAs MESFETs, resulting in a smaller transistor periphery and, hence, a reduced die size.

 Ku-band MMIC Power Amplifiers Developed Using MSAG MESFET Technology  |  February 8, ...
Many different technologies, including MESFET, HBT and HEMT, are being pursued to develop MMIC power amplifiers1—6 in order to obtain the maximum output power (Pout) and power-added efficiency (PAE) from a single chip.
The MSAG MESFET technology was selected to develop Ku-band power amplifiers because of its high across-the-wafer uniformity, excellent linearity and low cost capabilities.
One of the basic requirements for achieving high power output and PAE on a single MMIC chip is the high across-the-wafer uniformity of the saturated drain-source current (IDSS) and device cut-off frequency (ƒT) in order to combine all unit FET cells efficiently.
