Several design approaches and technologies have shown impressive abilities to produce SRAMs with densities greater than 1Kb and access times less than 25ns. Panelists will examine opportunities to develop further these technologies and produce a density of ≥64Kb and access time of ≤5ns. Issues to be probed include the access time of merged bipolar memories and the cell sizes and economics of GaAs memories.

THIS PAPER WILL DESCRIBE the design of frequency dividers implemented with GaAs/(GaAl)As heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) in an emitter-coupled logic circuit configuration. Frequency division (+ 2 and + 4) was obtained with input frequencies as high as 4.5GHz, using devices with emitter dimensions of 1 . 6 ~ x 5 ~ . Interest in GaAs/(GaAl)As HBTs derives from their potential for higher cutoff frequency, lower base resistance and lower emitter-base capacitance than obtained with Si bipolar transistors'. At the same time, they are expected to provide higher current drive capability, higher transconductance, and lower sensitivity to process parameters than GaAs FETs'. I2L circuits employing HBTs have been described'. Recently, prototype ECL ringoscillators using HBTs have also been reported3. The ECL approach is oriented towards high frequency operation. At the same time, its differential structure reduces circuit sensitivity to supply voltage, temperature and device variations, and its constant supply current characteristic reduces noise generation due to parasitic inductances during high frequency operation. The divider circuits were based on master-slave flipflops constructed from D-latches of the type shown in Figure 1. Divide-by-2 operation was obtained by feeding the M/S flipflop output back to the D input. Divide-by-4 operation was obtained by combining two divide-by-2 sections on the same chip, with the output of the first providing the clock input of the second (after an emitter-follower stage for buffering and level-shifting). Both types of dividers were provided with output buffer amplifiers and emitter-follower output drivers. Divide-by-4 circuits utilized 32 transistors. A microphotograph of a completed chip is shown in Figure 2. Exclusive of pads, the chip occupies an area of 2 1 0 p x 450W. The structure of the transistors is shown schematically in Figure 3. MBE growth was utilized to deposit the device layers on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. Base layers approximately 1000Athick doped to 3x1018,-3 with Be were utilized. Implanted Be was also used to make contact to the base. Device isolation was provided by boron bombardment. Resistors were made with evaporated Ni-Cr. Further details of the process have been reported3. Transistors (with the exception of output drivers) had emitter dimensions of 1 . 6 ~ x 5m and emitter-base contact separations of 1.6/un. The maximum current of the devices is 6-8mA. -
本文将描述在发射体耦合逻辑电路配置中采用GaAs/(GaAl)As异质结双极晶体管(HBTs)实现的分频器的设计。使用发射器尺寸为1的器件,在输入频率高达4.5GHz时获得分频(+ 2和+ 4)。6 ~ x 5 ~。对GaAs/(GaAl)As双极晶体管的兴趣源于它们比Si双极晶体管具有更高的截止频率、更低的基极电阻和更低的发射极-基极电容的潜力。与此同时,与GaAs fet相比,它们有望提供更高的电流驱动能力、更高的跨导性和更低的工艺参数灵敏度。已经描述了采用hbt的I2L电路。最近,使用HBTs的ECL环形振荡器原型也被报道了3。ECL方法面向高频操作。同时,其差分结构降低了电路对电源电压、温度和器件变化的灵敏度,其恒定的电源电流特性降低了高频工作时寄生电感产生的噪声。分频电路基于主从触发器,由图1所示的d型锁存器构成。通过将M/S触发器输出馈送回D输入,获得除2运算。除4运算是通过在同一芯片上组合两个除2部分来获得的,第一个部分的输出提供第二个部分的时钟输入(经过一个用于缓冲和电平移位的发射器-跟随器阶段)。两种类型的分频器都配备了输出缓冲放大器和发射器跟随器输出驱动器。除4电路使用32个晶体管。完成芯片的显微照片如图2所示。除去焊盘,该芯片的面积为210p × 450W。晶体管的结构示意图如图3所示。利用MBE生长将器件层沉积在半绝缘的GaAs衬底上。使用了约1000厚的基材层,掺杂到3x1018,-3与Be。植入的Be也被用来与基地联系。硼轰击装置隔离。电阻器是用蒸发镍铬制成的。该过程的进一步细节已被报道。晶体管(输出驱动器除外)的发射极尺寸为1。6 ~ x 5m,发射架-底座接触距离1.6/un。设备的最大电流为6 ~ 8ma。-
