Effect of hot-carrier energy relaxation on main properties of collapsing field domains in avalanching GaAs

Improvements in GaAs JFETs for Deep Cryogenic Operation

Gallium arsenide junction field-effect transistors (GaAs JFETs) can be made immune to carrier freeze-out, making such transistors useful for the readout of detector arrays that operate at 4 K. Typical applications require transistors with very low noise and extremely low leakage current. By using a recently developed etchant for GaAs that is highly isotropic, etched GaAs JFETs have fabricated t...

Gallium Phosphide IMPATT Sources for Millimeter-Wave Applications

The potentiality of millimter-wave (mm-wave) double-drift region (DDR) impact avalanche transit time (IMPATT) diodes based on a wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor material, Gallium Phosphide (GaP) has been explored in this paper. A non-sinusoidal voltage excited (NSVE) large-signal simulation method has been used to study the DC and high frequency characteristics of DDR GaP IMPATTs dsigned to ope...

Collective effects in charge transfer within a hybrid organic-inorganic system.

A collective electron transfer (ET) process was discovered by studying the current noise in a field effect transistor with light-sensitive gate formed by nanocrystals linked by organic molecules to its surface. Fluctuations in the ET through the organic linker are reflected in the fluctuations of the transistor conductivity. The current noise has an avalanche character. Critical exponents obtai...
