Compact Multi-Level Digital-to-Analog Conversion Using Thin-Film Multimodal Transistors

Unlike conventional ohmic contact thin-film transistors (TFTs), contact-controlled TFTs [1], [2] rely on source energy barriers to produce a range of benefits including: low saturation voltages; extremely high intrinsic gain;

Investigation and Explanation of PiPiN Avalanche Photo-Diode Characteristics

In this article, the operation of avalanche photo-diodes in the medium gain, continuous operation mode is investigated. In other words, we are not considering diode operation in transient “Gieger” or

Parabolic Grading of a PHEMT Channel Composition for Ultra-High and Broad OIP3 Peak

We detect a local maximum in the design space of a pseudomorphic-channel high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT). The design has an OIP3 linearity figure-of-merit that is 10-15 dBm above the

TCAD Mixed-Mode Simulation for GaN Power HEMTs in Unclamped Inductive Switching

The qualification of GaN power high-electron-mobilitytransistors (HEMTs) must consider the device ruggedness against out-of-SOA (safe operating area) events [1- 3].
