    摘要: A multi-state, multi-layer magnetic memory cell including a first conductor, a first magnetic layer contacting the first conductor, an insulating layer on the first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer on the insulating layer, a second conductor contacting the second magnetic layer, and a word line adjacent, or in contact with, the cell so as to provide a magnetic field to partially switch magnetic vectors along the length of the first magnetic layer. Information is stored by passing one current through the word line and a second current through the first and second conductors sufficient to switch vectors in the first and second magnetic layers. Sensing is accomplished by passing a read current through a word line sufficient to switch one layer (and not the other) and a sense current through the cell, by way of the first and second conductors, and measuring a resistance across the cell.

    摘要: A high efficiency power amplifier includes an integrated circuit with a heterojunction interband tunneling field effect transistor (HITFET) amplifier coupled to receive high frequency (into the GHz) RF signals. The HITFET amplifier is constructed to receive the RF signal with a given frequency at the input terminal and to produce a substantially square wave signal at the given frequency at an output terminal in response to the RF signal applied to the input terminal. The gate of a switching FET connected as a class E amplifier is coupled to the output of the HITFET for receiving the square wave signal and an impedance matching output circuit is coupled to the drain of the switching FET.

    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.

    摘要: A superlattice structure comprising a host quantum well with a plurality of mini quantum wells formed therein is provided. The host quantum well has a confined energy state E.sub.2 which lies very near a lower band energy V.sub.1 of the host well, while each of the mini quantum wells has a single confined energy level E.sub.1 which lies below V.sub.1. Charge carriers are provided to the quantum well by doping material in the barrier layers to provide modulation doping of the quantum well. The mini quantum wells contain at least one monolayer of another material within their boundaries. The monolayer material is preferably electrically inactive and is a source of phonons which are generated for the purpose of charge carrier-phonon coupling in order to cause charge carrier pairing. In a preferred embodiment a transfer quantum well is formed between the barrier region of the host quantum well and the outermost mini quantum wells. The transfer quantum well has an energy state which couples to the E.sub.1 energy state of the mini quantum wells and serves to transfer charge to the mini quantum wells.

    摘要: An enhanced conductivity superlattice made from semiconductor materials provides enhanced conductivity. It is believed that conductivity can be enhanced sufficiently to produce superconductivity well above typical superconductivity temperatures of the semiconductor materials. The enhanced conductivity quantum well is a superlattice structure having a monolayer phonon generator sandwiched between layers of a host material. Barrier layers surround the host material to confine the host material electrons. In another embodiment, the monolayer may be located within the barrier layers. The monolayer generates phonons having an optical energy which is lower than the optical energy of the host material. The generated phonons couple with low energy electrons or holes to propagate without dissipation of electron energy.

    摘要: A self oscillating mixer circuit includes a dual gate FET, an NDR device coupled to a first gate of the FET, and a first bias input circuit adapted to couple a first bias voltage across the NDR device. The first bias voltage controls operation of the NDR device within an NDR region of the V-I characteristic curve of the NDR device so that oscillations occur in the NDR device and the FET. The first bias input circuit is adjustable to adjust the applied first bias voltage so as to control frequency and amplitude of the oscillations. An RF input terminal and a second bias input circuit are coupled to supply a second bias voltage at the other gate terminal, which biases the FET at maximum gain so that RF signals applied to the RF input terminal are mixed with the oscillations.

    摘要: A method of masking surfaces during fabrication of semiconductor devices is disclosed, which includes providing a substrate, and in a preferred embodiment a silicon substrate. The surface is hydrogen terminated (or hydrogenated) and a metal mask is positioned on the surface so as to define a growth area and an unmasked portion on the surface. Ozone is generated at the surface, at least in the unmasked area, by exposing the surface to a light having a wavelength approximately 185 nm (an oxygen absorbing peak), so as to grow an oxide film on the unmasked portion of the surface. The metal mask is removed and the oxide film then serves as a mask for further operations and can be easily removed in situ by heating.
