A study of the properties of In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53+xGa0.47−xAs high electron mobility transistors is carried out for 0%, 7%, and 12% excess In values in the channel. Theoretical analysis shows that the enhanced In causes a biaxial compressive strain of 0.49% to 0.84% in the channel, increases the band‐edge discontinuity from 0.437 to 0.500 eV, and reduces the carrier mass by 6%. Experimental characterizations support the theoretical predictions by demonstrating an increase of mobility from 9900 to 11 200 cm2/V s at 300 K, and a transconductance enhancement from 160 to at least 230 mS/mm.

The DC and microwave performance of a strained In/sub 0/./sub 65/Ga/sub 0/./sub 35/As/In/sub 0/./sub 52/A1/sub 0/./sub 48/As HEMT (high-electron-mobility transistors) is reported. Its design is based on theoretical and experimental studies including low- and high-field transport characterization of heterostructures with different strains. The intrinsic DC transconductance and cutoff frequence of 1.4- mu m-long gate HEMTs are 574 mS/mm and 38.6 GHz, respectively. The increased indium (In) composition in the channel enhances the drift velocity from 1.35*10/sup 7/ to 1.55*10/sup 7/ cm/s at 300 K.< >

The processing conditions to obtain high-quality and repeatable polysilicon films are described. These include substrate preparation, the deposition procedure, reactor configuration, and postdeposition treatment. Examples of large-aspect-ratio microstructures such as long, thin beams and tuning forms for sensor applications and large-area diaphragms for piezoresistive microphones and X-ray masks are presented to illustrate the potential of polysilicon films that are in tension.< >

Calculation and measurements of Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear modulus, and internal strain for fine-grained polysilicon as a function of processing conditions are presented. Calculations are based on appropriate averaging of single-crystal silicon properties, taking into account the film morphology. Experimental data are taken from strain diagnostic and resonant beam structures. It is found that polysilicon films can be in tension and that the intrinsic quality factor is approaching 75000.< >

Double Channel HEMT's are used as variable resistor elements in a bridged-T attenuator with broadband characteristics (0.5-12GHz), and wide dynamic range (12-16dB). A small insertion loss (2.8dB minimum) is obtained with the help of the heterojunction approach which results in smaller ON-channel resistances than MESFET technology.

A 32-*32-element capacitive silicon tactile imager has been developed for use in precision robotics applications where high density and high resolution are important. The silicon chip measures 1.8 cm*1.7 cm and is organized in an X-Y matrix of 1024 capacitor elements on 0.5-mm centers. The process uses two boron diffusions (deep and shallow) followed by a silicon-to-glass electrostatic bonding step and subsequent unmasked wafer dissolution. This results in a thick center plate for the sense capacitor supported by thinner beams. A data acquisition system used with the device offers over 7-bit force resolution with a maximum operating force of about 1 gm/element.< >

The features of InGaAs/InAlAs HEMT (high-electron-mobility transistor) technology are discussed in view of its potential for MMIC applications. Small- and large-signal characteristics benefit from the introduction of a strained layer in the channel. InGaAs HEMTs have a third-order intermodulation distortion point 4-dB higher than GaAs/AlGaAs, and are therefore very suitable for full multistage amplifier integration. A first demonstration of integration capability is shown with monolithic InGaAs attenuators which show 1.5-dB insertion loss and 18-dB dynamic range from 545 MHz to 25 GHz.< >

A novel n-p-n bipolax avalanche transistor is demonstrated. Controlled avalanche and large current output is achieved by incorporating in the collector junction a few periods of a symmet- ric or asymmetric multi-quantum well in which only electrons predominanttly multiply. The theory of operation, materials growth by molecular beam epitaxy, impact ionization data in the quantum wells and device performance are described. Optical gains as high as 140 are measured in these transistors.

Due to the inherently fast transport associated with tunneling, resonant tunneling diodes have been proposed for use in extremely high frequency oscillators. Transit time effects in these oscillators should be considered and can be exploited to improve their rf performance, as in a quantum well injection transit time (QWITT) diode. Small and large signal analyses of these transit time effects are presented, and their implications on the optimum design and maximum possible oscillation frequency of quantum well oscillators is discussed.
