    摘要: A silicon-based monolithic microwave integrated circuit architecture is described. This architecture, called MICROX.TM., is a combination of silicon material growth and wafer processing technologies. A wafer is fabricated using a substrate of high resistivity silicon material. An insulating layer is formed in the wafer below the surface area of active silicon, preferably using the SIMOX process. A monolithic circuit is fabricated on the wafer. A ground plane electrode is formed on the back of the wafer. Direct current and rf capacitive losses under microstrip interconnections and transistor source and drain electrodes are thereby minimized. Reduction in the resistivity of the substrate material as a result of CMOS processing can be minimized by maintaining a shielding layer over the bottom surface of the wafer. Microstrip and airbridge connectors, salicide processing and nitride side wall spacing can be used to further enhance device performance. The resulting architecture is an alternative to gallium arsenide integrated circuits for microwave applications.

    摘要: A cell-type atomic frequency standard utilizing a miniaturized gas cell and microwave exciter along with a diode laser light source. The intensity of the diode laser light source counterbalances the penalties associated with the small gas cell. The signal produced by an oscillator is applied to a vapor within the gas cell by a miniature helix coil, or LC gap conductor, or a microstrip exciter. With the dimensions of the gas cell not exceeding one-half the wavelength of the signal, and the associated circuitry formed on a semiconductor substrate, the resulting frequency standard is reduced in size by two orders of magnitude when compared to prior art devices of comparable accuracy.

    摘要: A diode structure having a reduced on-resistance in the forward-biased condition includes semiconductor layers, preferably of silicon carbide. The anode and cathode of the device are located on the same side of the bottom semiconductor layer, providing lateral conduction across the diode body. The anode is positioned on a semiconductor mesa, and the sides of the mesa are covered with a nonconductive spacer extending from the anode to the bottom layer. An ohmic contact, preferably a metal silicide, covers the surface of the bottom layer between the spacer material and the cathode. The conductive path extends from anode to cathode through the body of the mesa and across the bottom semiconductor layer, including the ohmic contact. The method of forming the diode includes reacting layers of silicon and metal on the appropriate regions of the diode to form an ohmic contact of metal silicide.

    摘要: X-band signals are generated from the output of a Josephson junction array which is excited by a first RF frequency waveform digitally implemented in a data stream generated by a digital waveform generator gated by a stabilized local oscillator operating at a second frequency (X-band). The Josephson junction array outputs a digital data stream having pulses of quantum mechanically accurate uniform amplitude and picosecond pulsewidth. These pulses are fed to a bandpass filter which operates to extract a low phase-noise RF signal at X-band and consisting of the sum of the first and second frequencies and which can thereafter be used to generate transmit signals in a radar system and more particularly a cryogenic radar system.
