Light-Emitting Transistor Based on Real-Space Transfer: Electrical and Optical Properties

Majority Carrier Transistor Based on Voltage-Controlled Thermionic Emission

A new type of transistor is proposed based on gate-controlled charge injection in unipolar semiconductor structures. Its design has some similarity with the recently fabricated triangular barrier diodes but contains an additional input circuit which allows an independent control of the barrier height for thermionic emission. This circuit is provided by a MOS gate on the semiconductor surface. I...

Analysis of Phase Noise Degradation Considering Switch Transistor Capacitances for CMOS Voltage Controlled Oscillators

In this paper we present a study on the design optimization of voltage-controlled oscillators. The phase noise of LC-type oscillators is basically limited by the quality factor of inductors. It has been experimentally shown that higher-Q inductors can be achieved at higher frequencies while the oscillation frequency is limited by parasitic capacitances. In this paper, the minimum transistor siz...

Small-Signal Analysis of Frequency-Controlled Electronic Ballasts

This paper presents analytical tools aimed at improving and simplifying the development of frequency-controlled dimming electronic ballasts. A modified phasor transformation is proposed that converts a frequency-modulated signal into an equivalent time-varying phasor. The proposed transformation is applied to develop a complete small-signal phasor model of the LCC resonant ballast, which explic...

The MOS transistor as a small-signal amplifier

Under the usual conditions of operation the MOS transistor operates in saturation and is a square-law device: the characteristic curve of the drain current as a function ofthe gate voltage is parabolic in shape (see the preceding article [11, fig. 2b). However, if the MOS transistor is biased to bring the operating point on to the slope of the parabola, then the amplification will be practicall...
