Good agreement is obtained between experiment and numerical calculations on supercritically doped n-GaAs transferred electron amplifiers. When moderate doping depletions near one electrode are included in the calculations, the results correctly predict the small-signal impedance and current-voltage characteristics, including the bias-induced stable-unstable-stable regimes. The results demonstrate the dominant role played by the electrodes in controlling the behavior of transferred electron amplifiers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
