We have developed a GaAs Bi-FET technology which opens a new field of a m-v LSI. The Bi-FET is a unit consisting of a GaAs/GaAIAs heterobipolar transistor (HBT) and a modulation-doped FET (MODFET) so that the unit has advantages of both low power consumption in MODFET and large current driving capability in HBT. The Bi-FET technology is based on a newly developed structure where the MODFET is merged into the collector region of the HBT through a single epitaxial growth. A new inverter circuit has been implemented with the Bi-FET technology, which has minimum gate delay of 150 psec with the power dissipation of 3.0 mW/gate.
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.
