The RF powers of 15 W/mm at 35 V (PVE=0.43 W/V-mm) and 20 W/mm at 55 V (PVE= 0.36W/V-mm) were measured, which are approximately 50% higher than the previously reported values of PVE=0.25 W/V-mm (30 W/mm at 120 V). The MOSHFET devices exhibit an extremely stable operation for times in excess of 120 hours at power levels close to 20 W/mm. This is also the first demonstration of stability for a III-N microwave FET device at such a high power level. The key features of our new device design are (i) current collapse-free operation using trapped charge removing field-plates over leaky dielectric layers; (ii) selective area doping to achieve record low access resistances and (iii) an insulated gate design suppressing forward gate currents responsible for device degradation. In the paper we will present detailed experimental evidence to support our explanations for achieving the record RF-performance for the III-N FETs for the first time","PeriodicalId":306160,"journal":{"name":"63rd Device Research Conference Digest, 2005.

The channels are coupled such that one gates the other, with the organic channel exposed to air such that it is able to interact with chemicals in the ambient. This device represents a major improvement over both the traditional CHEMFET (which is a silicon MOSFET with the gate uncovered to be chemically sensitive) (Janata, 1989), and an organic transistor chemical sensor (Crone et al., 2001). While the device we developed can also function as a traditional CHEMFET, one of the more powerful sensing modes occurs when the two channels are coupled and changes in the organic channel carrier density in response to analyte delivery are reflected as changes in the current through the silicon channel. Another unique sensing mode, which appears to be the most sensitive, is designated as the chemical memory mode. In this mode analyte molecules result in trapped charges in the organic semiconductor which change the threshold voltage of the silicon FET. We have observed a response in the chemical memory mode that is between 10 and 100 times more intense than the response in the traditional CHEMFET mode","PeriodicalId":306160,"journal":{"name":"63rd Device Research Conference Digest, 2005.

Optical interconnects are promising to alleviate many limitations faced by their electrical counterparts (Miller, 2000). Easy integration of photodetectors with mainstream Si-ICs is a key aspect to realize on-chip optical clocking/signaling on dense integrated systems. Among various photodetector structures, metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (MSM-PDs) are attractive for their high sensitivity-bandwidth product, low capacitance and remarkable ease of integration. However, relatively large dark current (Idark) associated with a lower bandgap and thus low Schottky barrier MSMs (vs. PIN diodes (Oh et al.,2002)) like Ge and Si, poses additional power dissipation, an increasingly serious problem in today's dense integrated systems. In addition, the resultant increase in noise level demands higher optical powers for minimum detectable signal. The paper have investigated the possibility to suppress leakage current by utilizing asymmetric-area contacts on a basic MSM structure with two back-to-back Schottky diodes. Under an applied bias, an identical current flowing through the unequal area electrodes, results in an enhanced depletion at the smaller-area contact due to higher electric field at this electrode. This in turn decreases the reach through voltage, the applied bias at which the sum of the depletion widths extends through the electrode separation (i.e. total depletion operating condition). 2D MEDICItrade simulations of Si-based interdigitated MSM structures were used to verify dark current reduction with this area asymmetry scheme","PeriodicalId":306160,"journal":{"name":"63rd Device Research Conference Digest, 2005.
