摘要:
A FET having a high trap concentration interface layer and method of fabrication includes a semi-insulating gallium arsenide substrate having a high trap concentration interface layer formed therein. An non-intentionally doped buffer layer, also comprised of gallium arsenide, is then formed on the interface layer and is followed by the formation of a doped aluminum gallium arsenide layer thereon. A source, a gate and a drain are then formed on the FET layers. The FET and method disclosed herein are especially applicable for low current (5-1000 microamp) operation of microwave low-noise FETs.
摘要:
A low power heterojunction field effect transistor (10, 30, 50, 60) capable of operating at low drain currents while having a low intermodulation distortion. A channel restriction region (9, 38, 51) is formed between the gate electrodes (24, 41, 69) and the drain electrodes (25, 46, 65). The channel restriction region (9, 38, 51) depletes the channel layer (13, 33) thereby constricting a channel and lowering a drain saturation current. The channel restriction region (9, 38, 51) may be used to set a desired drain saturation current such that a second derivative of the transconductance with respect to the gate-source voltage is approximately zero and a first derivative of the transconductance with respect to the gate-source voltage is, approximately, a relative maximum at the desired operating point.

A stable FET including a substrate structure with a doped layer formed as a portion of the substrate structure and defining an electrically conductive shielding region adjacent a surface of the substrate structure. A channel region is positioned on the shielding region and includes a plurality of epitaxial layers grown on the surface of the substrate structure in overlying relationship to the doped layer. A drain and a source are positioned on the channel region in spaced relationship from each other with a gate positioned in overlying relationship on the channel region between the drain and source. An externally accessible electrical contact is connected to the shielding region and to the source region to provide a path for the removal of internally generated charges, such as holes.

A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell structure (10) with a portion of giant magnetoresistive (GMR) material (11), around which single or multiple word line (12) is wound, is provided. Magnetic field generated by word current (13, 14) superimposed in portion of GMR material (11) so that a total strength of magnetic field increases proportionally. The same word current is passed through the portion of GMR material (11) multiple times, thus producing equivalent word field by many times as large word current in a conventional MRAM cell.

摘要:
A thin layer, typically a monolayer, of a small band gap material (37) is inserted into the active layer (14) of a quantum well semiconductor device (36, 51). The band gap of the thin layer (37) is smaller than the band gap of the material in the active layer (14), thereby shifting carrier concentrations in the quantum well (26d, 26e, 26h, 26n) of the active layer (14) toward the thin layer (37). This shift increases alignment between the electron wave function (42, 54) and the hole wave function (44, 57) in the quantum well (26d, 26e, 26h, 26n) which increases the probability of stimulated photon emissions thereby reducing the threshold current and threshold voltage of the quantum well semiconductor device (36, 51).

A nonvolatile programmable switch includes first and second magnetizable conductors having first and second ends, respectively, each of which is a north or south pole. The ends are mounted for relative movement between a first position in which they are in contact and a second position in which they are insulated from each other. The first conductor is permanently magnetized and the second conductor is switchable in response to a magnetic field applied thereto. Programming means are associated with the second conductor for switchably magnetizing the second conductor so that the second end is alternatively a north or south pole. The first and second ends are held in the first position by magnetic attraction and in the second position by magnetic repulsion.

A heterojunction tunnel diode with first and second barrier layers, the first barrier layer including aluminum antimonide arsenide. A quantum well formation is sandwiched between the first and second barrier layers, and includes first and second quantum well layers with a barrier layer sandwiched therebetween, the first quantum well layer being adjacent the first barrier layer. The first quantum well layer is gallium antimonide arsenide which produces a peak in hole accumulations therein. The second quantum well layer produces a peak in electron accumulations therein. A monolayer of gallium antimonide is sandwiched in the first quantum well layer at the peak in hole accumulations and a monolayer of indium arsenide is sandwiched in the second quantum well layer at the peak in electron accumulations.
