    摘要: An optical XOR circuit that includes a thyristor and control circuitry operably coupled to terminals of the thyristor. The control circuitry is configured to control switching operation of the thyristor in response to the ON/OFF states of two digital optical signal inputs such that the thyristor produces a digital signal output that is the XOR function of the two digital optical signal inputs.

    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit employs a plurality of layers formed on a substrate including i) n-type modulation doped quantum well structure (MDQWS) structure with n-type charge sheet, ii) p-type MDQWS, iii) undoped spacer layer formed on the n-type charge sheet, iv) p-type layer(s) formed on the undoped spacer layer, v) p-type etch stop layer formed on the p-type layer(s) of iv), and vi) p-type layers (including p-type ohmic contact layer(s)) formed on the p-type etch stop layer. An etch operation removes the p-type layers of vi) for a gate region of an n-channel HFET with an etchant that automatically stops at the p-type etch stop layer. Another etch operation removes the p-type etch stop layer to form a mesa at the p-type layer(s) of iv) which defines an interface to the gate region of the n-channel HFET, and a gate electrode is formed on such mesa.

    摘要: A semiconductor device suitable for power applications includes a thyristor epitaxial layer structure defining an anode region offset vertically from a cathode region with a plurality of intermediate regions therebetween. An anode electrode is electrically coupled to the anode region. A cathode electrode is electrically coupled to the cathode region. A switchable current path that extends vertically between the anode region and the cathode region has a conducting state and a non-conducting state. An epitaxial resistive region is electrically coupled to and extends laterally from one of the plurality of intermediate regions. An FET is provided having a channel that is electrically coupled to the epitaxial resistive region. The FET can be configured to inject (or remove) electrical carriers into (or from) the one intermediate region via the epitaxial resistive region in order to switch the switchable current path between its non-conducting state and its conducting state.

    摘要: An optical phase detector circuit is provided that is suitable for use in an optical phase lock loop. The optical phase detector includes a first optical flip-flop circuit configured to produce a first digital output based on ON/OFF state of a first digital optical input and a digital electrical control signal. A second optical flip-flop circuit is configured to produce a second digital output based on ON/OFF state of a second digital optical input and the digital electrical control signal. An AND gate is operably coupled to both the first and second optical flip-flops. The AND gate produces the digital electrical control signal for supply to the first and second optical flip-flop circuits according to an AND function of the first and second digital outputs produced by the first and second optical flip-flop circuits.
