The sub-picosecond transit times measured in InP/Ga/sub 0.47/In/sub 0.53/As heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) were widely interpreted in terms of quasi-ballistic base transport.

It was successfully demonstrated that the device has extremely high turn-on capability, comparable to thyratrons. The MAGT high-frequency operation design criteria are shown here. The photoluminescence (PL) decay method was used to measure the actual carrier lifetime in MAGT devices. It reveals that an electron carrier lifetime more than half of the operating pulse width is sufficient to minimize the turn-on loss. This means that the pause period can be reduced while still retaining small turn-on loss. A simple model is presented to interpret the turn-on loss dependence on the N-base width. With the optimized devices, 5-kHz operation was successfully demonstrated.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":13885,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting 1991 [Technical Digest]","volume":"83 1","pages":"153-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81064987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the fastest photodetector to date. It is based on low-temperature-grown GaAs and uses interdigitated electrodes of 0.2 mu m spacing to match the carrier transit time to the carrier lifetime. The responsivity is 0.1 A/W. The detector can be driven to an on-state resistance of a few of ohms, with the response time increasing to only 1.5 ps. The photodetector can therefore also function as a picosecond photogate. The two components have been combined to form an all-semiconductor optical temporal analyzer. The system response time is 1.9 ps, with a minimum detectable average power of 500 pW. The technique is jitter-free, permitting long integration times. Ultraweak picosecond fluorescence and scattering experiments, as well as other ultrafast phenomena can be time-resolved using this relatively simple tool.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":13885,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting 1991 [Technical Digest]","volume":"12 1","pages":"416-421"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87815298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the mechanism avoids the well-known problem of longitudinal bunching at relativistic velocities, it is suitable for high-voltage beams. Design considerations and preliminary initial results are presented. The results give confidence that the basic mechanism is valid. It is believed that the present results are limited by a combination of finite beam size effects and space charge, both of which tend to dilute effective bunching.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":13885,"journal":{"name":"International Electron Devices Meeting 1991 [Technical Digest]","volume":"9 1","pages":"771-774"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89952380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
