    摘要: A high frequency transferred electron device having electron ballistic injection and extraction for very high efficiency is disclosed. The device comprises a semiconductor body having at least two electrodes with a thin barrier layer being formed at one electrode for launching ballistic electrons at a controlled kinetic energy into the body. The body includes a drift region having a low, controlled density of electrons and impurities. A second heavily doped (N+) collector semiconductor layer at the second electrode insures that there is no barrier at the second electrode interface, thereby allowing energetic electrons to be removed from the drift region and allowing entry of new ballistic electrons to improve the efficiency and frequency response of the device.

    摘要: Ultra low resistance heterojunction ohmic contacts to semiconductors such gallium arsenide (GaAs) is described wherein a single crystal layer of germanium degenerately doped with arsenic is deposited on gallium arsenide using molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). A metallic film is then deposited over the single crystal layer of heavily doped germanium so as to obtain a non-alloyed heterojunction ohmic contact having a very low specific resistance.

    摘要: A heterojunction transistor doped to form a specially-shaped emitter-base conduction band step or spike is disclosed. The potential barrier is then utilized to accelerate electrons across the base region at the maximum velocity obtainable without scattering electrons to the upper valleys. In this manner the electrons bay be transported across the base region virtually without collisions and at a velocity approximately 10 times that of normal electron diffusion across the base region, thus increasing the frequence response of the transistor.

    摘要: Modulation of a semiconductor laser device is achieved at microwave frequencies by the application of transverse fields which produce energy shifts in the gain spectra of the laser device. The laser device is a PN diode which has a body portion constructed from a nonconductive material, with P and N type implants on opposite sides. The P and N implants define a transition region, or layer, on the order of 1 micron in width, in which is formed a quantum well having a thickness on the order of 50 to 100 Angstroms. Application of a bias voltage across the PN junction provides lasing of the device. An electrode on the surface of the transition layer allows application of a transverse electric field to the PN junction. This transverse field quenches the lasing of the device, to provide modulation of the laser. Quenching is produced by means of energy shifts in the gain spectra of the laser device, and since current flow through the PN junction is inhibited by the nonconductive material and thus flows primarily in the quantum wells, modulation of the current is possible at microwave frequencies at relatively low power levels.
