摘要： This composite semiconductor device has a normally-on first field effect transistor and a normally-off second field effect transistor connected in series between first and second terminals, gates of the first and second field effect transistors being connected to second and third terminals, respectively, and N diodes being connected in series in a forward direction between a drain and a source of the second field effect transistor. Therefore, a drain-source voltage (Vds) of the second field effect transistor can be restricted to a voltage not higher than a withstand voltage of the second field effect transistor.

摘要： An electric-signal amplifying device is provided which includes a light source and an opto-electronic element for amplifying an input signal by use of light emitted from the light source. The opto-electronic element includes a semiconductor substrate and a multi-layered structure disposed thereon. The multi-layered structure has a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type, and a third semi-conductor layer of the first conductivity type in this order. The second and third semiconductor layers form a first p-n junction for modulating the amount of light to be absorbed thereinto with a change of bias voltage applied thereto in accordance with the input signal, while the first and second semiconductor layers form a second p-n junction for generating a current as an amplified output signal by absorption of the light transmitted through the first p-n junction. According to the electric-signal amplifying device of this invention, it is possible to amplify an electric signal at a very high speed because minority carriers are not used and the device has a simple structure.
