Abstract

In this paper, a new functional GaAs switching transistor is demonstrated. A sawtooth δ-Doped superlattice is introduced between anode and cathode. Holes, created by the avalanche multiplications near the metal-semiconductor (M-S) junction, play an important role in the transport properties. An attractive S-shaped negative differential resistance (NDR) phenomenon in the experimental current-voltage characteristics is observed. Furthermore, with proper operation of the third electrode, gate, the studied structure performs a controllable switching characteristics.
