摘要:
Structures (30) with IMPATT type diodes (34) located periodically along a transmission line (38-32) to simulate a distributed diode are disclosed. Preferred embodiments include incorporation of the periodic diode structures as the gain element of microwave amplifiers and oscillators. Preferred embodiments also place capacitors between the diodes to fix nodes in the electric field and increase the effective structure size.

The disclosure relates to a semiconductor substrate having an active area for formation of an IMPATT device which is formed as a plurality of separated fingers having a common n+ region to spread the area over which the IMPATT is disposed and which provides such additional area for dissipation of heat through the substrate.
摘要:
A method is provided for fabricating a thin film transistor. A plurality of layers is deposited on a substrate. The plurality of layers includes a conductive gate contact layer, a gate insulator layer, an undoped channel layer, an etch-stop layer, and a conductive contact layer. The etch-stop layer is positioned between the conductive contact layer and the undoped channel layer. A portion of the conductive contact layer is selectively removed while removal of a portion of the undoped channel layer is prevented by the etch-stop layer during the selective removal. A portion of the etch-stop layer is selectively removed and an exposed portion of the etch-stop layer is converted from a conductor to an insulator by oxidizing the exposed portion of the etch-stop layer in air. A portion of remaining layers of the plurality of layers is selectively removed to form the thin film transistor.
