    摘要: A logic circuit including an input stage, wherein a first field-effect transistor is in series with a first saturable resistor interposed on the drain side in the supply of the first transistor, and an output stage including a second transistor which is identical with the first and has a supply on the drain side which is common with the input stage supply. The gate of the second transistor is connected to the drain of the first transistor. The supply circuit of the second transistor is closed across a forward-biased diode, and a second saturable resistor on the ground of the common supply is connected to the source of the first transistor. At least a selected of the field effect transistors or the saturable resistors has a saturable resistor structure formed of a layer of semiconductor material on a semi-insulating substrate. The material is doped to set up a dipolar domain in respect of an electric field which is higher than a so-called critical value. The saturable resistor structure further includes a groove cut in the semiconductor layer between two ohmic contacts so as to define a residual channel in the material. The dimensions of the groove are such that the critical value of the electric field is overstepped in respect of a value of the order of one volt of the voltage between the ohmic contacts.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods related to negative differential resistance (NDR) are provided. An NDR device includes a spaced pair of electrodes and at least two different materials disposed there between. One of the two materials is characterized by negative thermal expansion, while the other material is characterized by positive thermal expansion. The two materials are further characterized by distinct electrical resistivities. The NDR device is characterized by a non-linear electrical resistance curve that includes a negative differential resistance range. The NDR device operates along the curve in accordance with an applied voltage across the pair of electrodes.
