CMT-conductivity-modulated transistor

The characteristics of a conductivity-modulated transistor which can control AC current are presented. Measured characteristics of a fabricated device are shown and compared with calculated characteristics. Calculations are based on a physical, one-dimensional analytical model which has been, in part, derived from numerical analysis of the device. The proposed model gives relatively good qualitative agreement between calculated and measured characteristics. Potential applications of the device are discussed.<
