چکیده
InAs-based heterostructure barrier varactor (HBV) diodes with In0.3Al0.7As0.4Sb0.6 as the barrier material are demonstrated. Current–voltage and capacitance–voltage characteristics, as well as S-parameters, of HBV diodes with varying barrier thicknesses are examined. Maximum capacitance values and maximum-to-minimum capacitance ratios greater than those predicted by traditional HBV models were measured. The HBVs’ unconventional behavior in terms of charge accumulation layers adjacent to the wide bandgap barrier is discussed. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

HIGH Q InP-BASED VARACTOR DIODES
We report on high quality-factor Heterostructure Barrier Varactor making benefit of epitaxial stacking and planar integration, with a cut-off frequency in the far infrared region. To this aim, high doping concentrations in the depletion (2x10 17 cm) and contact (1x10 cm) InGaAs regions lattice matched to an InP substrate and an InAlAs/AlAs blocking barrier scheme were used. Planar integration o...
متن کاملPlanar Varactor and Mixer Diodes Fabricated Using InP-Based Materials
This paper reports on a planar integrated technology which, unlike previous approaches, utilizes InP-based materials and airbridge technology to reduce parasitics by avoiding the use of a bridge-supporting dielectric. Verticalheterojunction varactors (VHV) and mixers were grown by the in-house Metalorganic-Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) system on S.1. InP substrates. A novel process is prese...
متن کاملGaN Heterostructure Barrier Diodes Exploiting Polarization-Induced δ-Doping
A GaN-based heterostructure barrier diode (HBD) similar to GaAs planar-doped barrier diodes is demonstrated. Instead of doping with impurities, the polarization-induced sheet charge at the III-nitride heterojunction behaves as an effective δ-doping. An AlGaN/GaN heterostructure is used for the demonstration. The rectifying characteristics of the polarizationinduced GaN HBDs can be tuned by cont...

In this paper, we propose a new heterostructure dual material gate junctionless field-effect transistor (H-DMG-JLFET), with negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristic. The drain and channel material are silicon and source material is germanium. The gate electrode near the source is larger. A dual gate material technique is used to achieve upward band bending in order to access n-i-p-...
متن کاملA 474 GHz HBV Frequency Quintupler Integrated on a 20μm Thick Silicon Substrate
We present a silicon integrated Heterostructure Barrier Varactor (HBV) frequency quintupler ( 5) operating between 440 GHz and 490 GHz. By epitaxial transfer of InP-based HBV material structure onto silicon-on-insulator (SOI), a uniform and accurate thickness (20 m) of the frequency quintupler chip is achieved. In a single stage this device delivers 2.8 mW of output power at 474 GHz, when pumpe...
