  • Patent number: 6043518
    Abstract: Disclosed in this invention is a new four-terminal type and multiple delta-doped transistors with multiple functions grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD). All the epilayers are grown on n.sup.+ -GaAs substrates. The real-space transfer transistors (RST), the collector is located under the substrate, reveal very strong negative differential resistance phenomena. The RST structure using an InGaAs channel manifests superior characteristics of a very high peak-to-valley current ratio up to 430,000 at room temperature, a peak current as high as 100 mA, very sharp charge injection, and a valley current as broad as 5.5V. Meanwhile, high performance heterostructure field effect transistors can be implemented on the same wafer by further evaporating a gate between source and drain electrodes. In order to significantly reduce leakage current, an ohmic recession is made at the source and drain.
