Behavior of Transistors in a Magnetic Field

Description: Experiments are described which show that magnetic fields can exert a controlling influence on the operating characteristics of point contact transistors. The effect is especially evident when the transistor is operated in its negative resistance region. The frequency of an oscillator can be varied, or a switch made to trigger by applying a magnetic field to the transistor. Some applications of the principle are suggested; many more are evident.

A GERMANIUM FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR MADE FROM A HIGH-PURITY SUBSTRATE

Description: Field effect transistors have been fabricated on high-purity germanium substrates using low-temperature technology. The aim of this work is to preserve the low density of trapping centers in high-quality starting material by low-temperature (< 350 C) processing. The use of germanium promises to eliminate some of the traps which cause generation-recombination noise in silicon field-effect transistors (FET's) at low temperatures. Typically, the transconductance (g{sub m}) in the germanium FET'… more

Determination of late-time Gamma-Ray (60Co) sensitivity of single diffusion Lot 2N2222A transistors.

Description: Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has embarked on a program to develop a methodology to use damage relations techniques (alternative experimental facilities, modeling, and simulation) to understand the time-dependent effects in transistors (and integrated circuits) caused by neutron irradiations in the Sandia Pulse Reactor-III (SPR-III) facility. The development of these damage equivalence techniques is necessary since SPR-III was shutdown in late 2006. As part of this effort, the late time {g… more

Fabrication and characterization of GaN junction field effect transistors

Description: Junction field effect transistors (JFET) were fabricated on a GaN epitaxial structure grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The DC and microwave characteristics, as well as the high temperature performance of the devices were studied. These devices exhibited excellent pinch-off and a breakdown voltage that agreed with theoretical predictions. An extrinsic transconductance (g{sub m}) of 48 mS/mm was obtained with a maximum drain current (I{sub D}) of 270 mA/mm. The microwave measurem… more

Transistorization of Nuclear Counting Circuits

Description: From Abstract: "The advantage of long operational life, low power drain and miniaturization may be realized in nuclear counting circuits through the use of transistors. The disadvantage of instability, due to the effects of temperature change in the transistor, may be minimized in counting circuit designs. Representative circuits of a binary stage, amplitude discriminator, one shot multivibrator, and ratemeters are included. These were designed using the criteria of an minimum Beta and a maximu… more

Simulation of neutron displacement damage in bipolar junction transistors using high-energy heavy ion beams.

Description: Electronic components such as bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are damaged when they are exposed to radiation and, as a result, their performance can significantly degrade. In certain environments the radiation consists of short, high flux pulses of neutrons. Electronics components have traditionally been tested against short neutron pulses in pulsed nuclear reactors. These reactors are becoming less and less available; many of them were shut down permanently in the past few years. Therefore… more

Design and performance of the traveling-wave beam chopper for the SSRL injector

Description: A pulsed, split-parallel plate chopper has been designed built, and installed as part of the preinjector of the SSRL Injector. Its function is to allow the linear accelerator three consecutive S-band bunches from the long bunch train provided by a RF gun. A permanent magnet deflector (PMD) at the chopper entrance deflects the beam into an absorber when the chopper pulse is off. The beam is swept across a pair of slits at the beam output end when a 7 kV, 10-ns rise-time pulse passes in the oppos… more

Ion implantation processing for high-speed GaAs JFETs

Description: GaAs Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs) offer a higher gate turn-on voltage, resulting in a better noise margin and reduced power dissipation, than the more widely employed GaAs MESFET. The primary reason the JFET has not been more widely used is the speed penalty associated with the gate/channel junction and corresponding gate length broadening. We present the ion implantation processes used for a self-aligned, all ion-implanted, GaAs JFET that minimizes the speed penalty for the JFET w… more

Oxide degradation effects in dry patterning of resist using neutral oxygen beams

Description: Novel processing methods are being studied to address the highly selective and directional etch requirements of the ULSI manufacturing era; neutral molecular and atomic beams are two promising candidates. In this study, the potential of 5 eV neutral atomic oxygen beams for dry development of photoresist is demonstrated for application in patterning of CMOS devices. The patterning of photoresist directly on polysilicon gate layers enables the use of a self-contained dry processing strategy, with… more

Using nanoscale transistors to measure single donor spins in semiconductors

Description: We propose a technique for measuring the state of a single donor electron spin usinga field-effect transistor induced two-dimensional electron gas and electrically detected magnetic resonance techniques. The scheme is faciltated by hyperfine coupling to the donor nucleus. We analyze the potential sensitivity and outlne experimental reqiurements. Our measurement provides a single-shot, projective, and quantum non-demoltion measurement of an electron-encoded qubit state.

Monolithic preamplifier employing epitaxial N-channel JFETs

Description: This paper reports the results obtained in the research program oriented to the realisation of a monolithic preamplifier for calorimetry applications at high luminosity colliders. The main purpose of the program is to arrive at a monolithic realisation with a performance as close as possible to that of discrete preamplifiers. The junction field-effect transistors employed in discrete preamplifiers have an epitaxial channel and a very heavily doped gate diffused onto it. They present the best no… more

Past Analogue Multipliers with Field-Effect Transistors

Description: The solution time of analogue multipliers using field-effect transistors is investigated. This time is ultimately limited by the charging time of the field-effect transistor junction. In typical devices suitable for analogue multiplication the charging time is found to be about 10-20 nsec less than one percent. A four quadrant pulse amplitude multiplier circuit is described, whose solution time is equal to the field-effect transistor charging time.
