摘要: A full adder and a 1/2 frequency divider using resonant-tunneling hot-electron transistors (RHETs) are proposed. These circuits make the best use of negative differential conductance, feature RHETs, contain much fewer than used in conventional circuits. They were fabricated self-aligned InGaAs RHETs WSiN thin film resistors on single chip. The have an i-InGaAlAs/i-InGaAs collector barrier that improves current gain at low collector-based voltages. Circuit operation was confirmed 77 K with supply voltage 3 V. >
