We present an analytical approach for modelling the planar structure of GaAs MESFET's with the aim to determine current-voltage characteristics and breakdown voltage for reverse gate-drain bias. With the two-dimensional analytic solutions, we can determine the electric potential and field, and carrier and velocity profiles in the device. The results of simulation are compared with the available experimental data.
