Linton","doi":"10.1109/CORNEL.1987.721248","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CORNEL.1987.721248","url":null,"abstract":"1. INTRODUmON The design of nonlinear transit-time microwave and millimeter-wave semiconductor diodes (such as IMPA?T’s) is often based on simple scaling ideas, sometimes assisted by large-signal time-domain computer simulation. It is often found that simple scaling of structures from one frequency to another does not lead to optimum results. In addition, anticipated performance improvements from design changes (e.g. use of different structures, materials, heatsinking, etc.) are often not achieved. Large-signal time-domain simulation can be used to assist the: design of active microwave and millimeter wave diodes. However such simularion prov~des a per unit area characterization of specific diode structures. It yields efficiency data, output power per unit area, and impedance per unit area, but does not, by itself, predict optimum areas and maximum output powers. A-J plane analysis has been developed to overcome the above problems. It is a rapid graphical procedure which provides good physical insight. A-J plane analysis may be used on a stand-alone basis, to permit rapid assessment of the likely effect of proposed design changes (e.g. different structures, different materials, or different heatsinking arrangements). The combination of A-J plane analysis with large-signal time-domain simulation provides a complete CAD capability for design and optimization (of active diodes. The central idea of A-J plane analysis is to establish the limits of allowed combinations of area (A) and DC cumnt density (4. Allowed combinations an: limited by several mechanisms, including: thermal limitations; space-charge-induced field perturbations; and various impedance limitations. Each of these limitations gives rise to a boundary in the A-J plane between allowed and disallowed combinations of area and cimnt density. The location of each boundary line is a function of material, saucture, and frequency. A-J plane diagrams are figures showing all the A-J plane constraints. The area and DC current density combination corresponding to maximum input power, and the factors limiting the input power, are easily established using A-J plane diagrams. The utility of proposed design changes is easily established by constructing a modified A-J plane diagram and seeing whether the new design permits significantly higher input powers. The organization of the paper is as follows. The mapping of individual design constraints on to the A-J plane is described in the next section. Stand-alone interpretation and use of A-J plane diagrams is discussed in section 3. Examples are provided showing how to assess the influence of changes of heatsinking arrangement, structme, and semiconductor material. Complete design procedures using large-signal timedomain computer simulation in conjunction with A-J plane analysis are discussed in section 4.","PeriodicalId":247498,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/Cornell Conference on Advanced Concepts in High Speed Semiconductor Devices and Circuits, 1987.

For microwave application, f of 75 GHz have been demonstrated [2]. Common emitter current gain as high as 2000 has also been reported [ 3 ] . One of the possible approaches to achieve higher frequency performance of an HBT is to reduce the base width. To obtain a thin base, Matsumoto et. al. [ 4 ] proposed an AlAs/GaAs heterostructure in a bipolar transistor to obtain an \"inversion base\" (hence the name inversion-base bipolar transistor (IBT)). In this structure the base is formed by a two dimensional hole gas created via inversion at the heterointerface. The potential advantages of an IBT are the reduced base width and ease of fabrication. Current gains of 17.1 and 5.6 were obtained at 300 K and 77 K respectively [ 4 ] . It was suggested that the increased current gain at 300 K relative to 77 K may be due to the increase of t$e thermally stimulated electrons which go over the AlAs barrier from the n GaAs emitter to the nGaAs collector. which resulted in demonstrating bipolar transistor action with much improved device performance in terms of current gain and density.

Electron velocity enhancement effects were seen through transconductance dependence on gate lenght. The effective channel length in this self-aligned structure was found to be defined by SI+ implanted source and drain regions. The extrapolated p at 77K was > 150,000 cm-'/V.sec and contributed to excellent channel conductance shown firough low knee voltage and low channel resistance which is lower than 1/3 of the total S-D on resistance. The near zero built-in V was obtained due to almost symmetric layer structure, good thermal stability of undoped structure and proper RTA control. The I-V distortion at 77K was found to be a pure geometric effect resulting from angled Si + implant and did not occur in non-angled implant due to undoped structure, unlike the I, collapse in MODFET which is caused by traps. The SISFETs show a large charge modulation capability: at Vg = 0.7V, NS 2 1012/cm2, fast turn on characteristics, and high potential in being used in higk speed logic circuits. These features also made SISFET potential in obtaining high frequency microwave performance. Furthermore intrinsic NDR of SISFETs was found by real space transfer through hot electron injection under certain bias conditions and this indicates SISFETs might have potential in other interesting microwave applications which is still under study.
