| Research Abstract |
In the present research project, a new hot-electron transistor consisting of the superconductor base has been proposed and developed. The related new technologies ecessary for producing the new transistor have been built-up.
The new transistor, hereafter referred to as the Super-Het, is a kind of the ultimate high-speed and high-frequency device. In our preliminary experiment, a Super-Het was fabricated with GaAs-Nb-InSb ternary layers. It showed a pretty good I-V characteristics, being very close to the computor simulation results, at least in its dc behaviors.
The Nb/GaAs heteroepitaxial growth has been performed. The hydrogen plasma cleaning and the interrupted electron-beam deposition substantially helped the epitaxy of Nb on GaAs and AlGaAs substrates. These techniques promise the realization of the excellent Super-HET in near future.
