High frequency power semiconductor devices based on metal insulator semiconductor field effect transistor (MISFET) structures have long been desired for microwave and millimeter wave (mm wave) applications. Unfortunately, complex interface defects and Fermi level pinning at the surface of both gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) have impeded technology to control and stabilize MIS s ...

19 Hydrocarbon Gas Sensors Based on Wide Band-Gap Semiconductors--SVT Associates, Inc., 7620 Executive Drive, Eden Prairie, MN 55344-3677; (612) 934-2100 Dr. Jody J. Klaassen, Principal Investigator Dr. Peter Chow, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-97ER82491 Amount: $74,195 In order to reduce environmental pollution from automobiles, cleaner burning engines are necessary. The successf ...

Next generation of infrared focal plane arrays for the Air Force space electronics must be large-format, high data rates, low power dissipation, and high radiation resistance. Gallium arsenide (GaAs) technology advances have shown the capability for producing very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits for digital computing applications. The intent of this project is to extend this GaAs technolo ...

We propose a unique GaN-Al(sub x)Ga(sub 1-x)N heterojunction based CCD for imaging in the ultraviolet (wavelengths less than 365 nm). Our proposed device will be solid state, TTL compatible and in it's final configuration solar blind. The Phase I program is aimed at establishing the technical feasibility of our device concept. Our proposed CCD is in essence a GaN-AlGaN gated photoconductor with ...

This proposal describes new low cost, low risk semiconductor-based approaches to fuze trigger circuit technology. These innovative approaches build on the promising new technology platform developed by ARIA as part of earlier SBIR research. ARIA's technology platform, initially developed for driving extremely high speed (400 picosecond rise time), high peak current pulses (400A) through laser di ...

Agriculture and forestry are the primary economic engines of northern Idaho. Both industries are struggling. Agricultural revenues have been stagnant for almost 5 years, agricultural support and service industries have virtually disappeared from rural communities, and farmers have recently lost a major share of regional markets for barley and oats to Canadian products which benefit from transpor ...

This effort will address five problems in the process design of heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) and high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs): (1) HEMT thermal impedances will be measured using a novel method and will be compared with finite-element simulations to provide more accurate values for computer-aided design programs. (2) The role of the spacer layer in HEMT performance and ...
