The RITFET achieved the negative transconductance desired in the multifunctional quantum logic devices. The equivalent circuit of the XNOR consists of two enhancement-mode field effect transistors, a resonant tunneling diode, and a load resistor. The XNOR functionality is achieved by using the field effect transistors to control the current through the diode and by the linear-to-multi-on-off input-to-output conversion resulting from the negative differential resistance.

Gain compression is more pronounced for common-base HBTs. The sensitivity of the device gain on the load termination conditions is smaller for common-emitter than common-base HBTs. Device self-bias is strongly dependent on load termination at high power levels for CE but not for CB HBTs. As a result, a unique load termination exists resulting in both maximum gain and power added efficiency in the case of CB HBTs. In the case of CE HBTs optimum load terminations can be selected through tradeoffs between the output power and efficiency load-pull contours.","PeriodicalId":268401,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/Cornell Conference on Advanced Concepts in High Speed Semiconductor Devices and Circuits","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123550181","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}

Important differences between these wide band gap lasers and lasers from other systems are the slow recombination rate and large band discontinuities. The behavior of the threshold, and thus the speed of operation, with variations in the aluminum content of the cladding regions, and the width of the active region are presented. Results for lasing due to band to band recombination and band to impurity level recombination are presented separately. From these we observe that the band to impurity recombination is difficult due to the reduced number of available states for recombination. Stopper layers are investigated and found to be useful at increasing carrier confinement without any detrimental effects because particle tunneling is very strong for majority carriers through the band discontinuities.","PeriodicalId":268401,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/Cornell Conference on Advanced Concepts in High Speed Semiconductor Devices and Circuits","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125682328","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 configuration consists of an 0.25 /spl mu/m RF-driven /spl Gamma/-gate overlapping to the source and a DC-trapezoid control gate placed approximately 0.2 /spl mu/m behind the /spl Gamma/-gate. The fabrication sequence allows one to test the device as a single gate FET before deposition of the second gate. The influence of the second gate on the transistor performance was characterized under DC- and RF-conditions. The device current could be fully modulated by either gate and the small signal RF behaviour could be tested in all modes of operation with the second gate RF-grounded. In comparison with the single gate FET, the dual-gate configuration shows an essentially reduced feedback behaviour with reduced C/sub dg/ and G/sub ds/ however, slightly increased input capacitance C/sub gs/. At V/sub ds/=1.2 V f/sub max/ is enhanced by 40%, from 190 GHz to 260 GHz, whereas the gain-bandwidth product decreases from 90 GHz to 70 GHz.
