Low output conductance, (16-18 mS/mm) is retained even at short (0.25- mu m) gate length. Extrinsic f/sub T/ and f/sub max/ for these devices are as high as 82 GHz and 148 GHz, respectively. These results show the possibility of using the double-heterojunction approach and the associated improved carrier confinement in order to enhance the power gain performance. Microwave characterization of devices with different gate lengths revealed an effective carrier velocity of approximately 1.2*10/sup 7/ cm/s, indicating that carrier transport may be limited by the quality of the inverted heterointerface. Growth interruption optimization may further improve the performance of these devices.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138960,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Indium Phosphide and Related Materials","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114766321","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}

The compositional grading was achieved by flux modulation through effusion cell temperature control, under the supervision of a personal computer. It was found from double-crystal X-ray diffraction studies that maintaining the lattice-matching condition through a graded region is not significantly more difficult than achieving the initial lattice-matching conditions for the two ternary constituents of the graded quaternary alloy. The graded-layer growth procedure was extended to take into account thermal transients in the effusion cells and applied to the removal of shutter transients.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138960,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Indium Phosphide and Related Materials","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114731223","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 ordering is caused by the nonuniform distribution of beam fluxes at the rotating substrate with an ordering period determined by the combined effects of growth rate and substrate rotation rate. The effect of the ordering is to produce a strained-layer superlattice whose properties can be inferred from the current-voltage characteristics of resonant-tunneling diodes. The physical and electrical characteristics of these rotation-induced superlattices are described utilizing several one-dimensional theoretical approaches to calculate the miniband structure and interpret the experimental data.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138960,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Indium Phosphide and Related Materials","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131807810","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}
