A 1/f noise model based on the distributed equivalent circuit technique for evaluating the semi-insulating substrate is proposed. Our model shows that the 1/f noise is a bulk phenomena with localized high frequency variations and long range low frequency fluctuations with the lowest frequency being constrained by the thickness of the material.

A self-consistent dynamic model is developed including the current distribution, carrier diffusion rate and spatial hole burning effects to investigate the modulation response of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with diffused quantum wells structure. It is found that the overall performance including relaxation oscillation frequency and modulation bandwidth is improved.

In this paper we fabricate a GaAs/n/sup +/InGaAs/GaAs doped-channel FET device with significant transistor performance. The use of the doped-channel structure also has the benefits of: (1) enhanced electron mobility and velocity in the InGaAs channel; and (2) elimination of the undesired DX centers or persistent photoconductivity effect. Study of the structure reveals that it exhibits the anomalous negative differential resistance (NDR) phenomenon. We conclude that the NDR performance is related to the existence of deep-level electron traps and the real-space transfer effect. Because only part of the fabricated devices exhibit NDR phenomena, the nonuniformly distributed deep-level electron traps related to the substrate or MOCVD growth process may be expected. The existence of electron traps enhances the decrease of channel current resulting from the real-space transfer effect. When the channel electrons gain enough energy from the accelerating field (at higher V/sub DS/ regime), they may inject into the neighboring GaAs layers and become trapped in the deep levels. This causes the reduction of conduction current and occurrence of NDR behavior.

A novel configuration, Clock Separated Logic (CSL), for sequential logic circuits which gives complementary outputs for both single-phase clock and two-phase clock equalization logic configuration was developed. The methodology can be applied to static, dynamic latches, D-type flipflops, synchronous counters, and full adders and is appropriate for digital circuit and system designs. In the application of a two-phase 8-bit full adder, it gives improvement over traditional circuits using full swing latches. Analytical model and simulation results proved that a reduction of overall 30% of cycle time is possible in the 8-bit full adder.

Pure-blue emission of the as-grown ZnSe diode at 300 K was observed. The EL spectrum was dominated by a band-to-band emission peak at 2.68 eV with a half-width 52 meV. The results were consistent with that of the photoluminescence spectrum. These indicated that high-quality ZnSe blue LEDs were obtained under the developed growth condition.

A new CMOS four-quadrant analog multiplier is presented. By means of an unique nonlinear compensation technique, the linear input range of the multiplier is extended significantly. The simulation results show that, when V/sub y/=/spl plusmn/3V, the nonlinear error is less than 0.94% over the /spl plusmn/3V input range of V/sub x/ and when V/sub x/=/spl plusmn/3V, the nonlinear error is less than 0.25% over the /spl plusmn/3V input range of V/sub y/, with a power supply of /spl plusmn/5V.

By using Mg as the tunnelling electrode for an EPROM cell, it is shown in a control experiment that the tunnelling current is much enhanced while the tunnelling field is much reduced after a sintering procedure in which Mg reacts with the SiO/sub 2/ dielectric. Potentially, this may lead to faster programming, lower programming voltages and better programming endurance. An experimental EPROM cell has been made and has demonstrated programmability.

A novel MOSFET device structure known as Quasi-SOI (QSOI MOSFET) permits direct measurements of substrate current generated by impact ionization near the SOI drain. It is observed that QSOI devices with identical dimensions and fabricated on the same wafer as built devices have lower substrate current when subjected to the same biases. We present here simulated and experimental evidence leading to the conclusion that the lateral maximum electric field near the drain is indeed lower in QSOI devices, with important implications for enhanced reliability in true SOI MOSETs.
