HEMT

Tra.nsitorAmplifiers. Most gaUium-based field-effect transitor amplifiers (FETs) are manufactured using ion implantation (qv) (52), except for high microwave frequencies and low noise requirements where epitaxy is used. The majority of discrete high electron mobiHty transistor (HEMT) low noise amplifiers are currently produced on MBE substrates. Discrete high barrier transistor (HBT) power amplifiers use MOCVD and MBE technologies. 

Integrated Circuits. For analogue integrated circuits (ICs) as frequencies increase, requirements for epitaxy grow at the same rate. For most microwave devices with frequencies over 20 GHz, an epitaxial GaAs layer is required. MBE is preferred for HEMT stmctures with better low noise, while MOCVD is used for HBT devices (see Integrated circuits). 

Optoelectronic components produced by CVD include semiconductor lasers, light-emitting diodes (LED), photodetectors, photovoltaic cells, imaging tubes, laser diodes, optical waveguides, Impact diodes, Gunn diodes, mixer diodes, varactors, photocathodes, and HEMT (high electron mobility transistor). Major applications are listed in Table 15.1.El...

Bhaskar and Loganathan96 described O-peracetylation of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and methyl glycosides (94) with acetic anhydride under catalysis by acid zeolites. From the panel of zeolites tested (HY, HEMT, HZSM-5, HZSM-12, HZSM-22, and H-beta), the large-pore zeolite H-beta provided the best yields of the fully acetylated sugars, most of them being over 85% and up to 99%, with the pyranose forms 95 accounting for 66-100% of the reaction products (Scheme 22).

If more than one layer is present, there will be interference fringes from each of them. If their thicknesses are different these will superimpose and beat. Very complex patterns may arise, as will be seen in the HEMT sfructrrre simrrlated in Chapter 5.

Unlike SiC, GaN is still not mature for the market. There is no doubt that the technological issues will be overcome but it will take some time. And finally, since money rules in the ruthless commercial world, will the manufacturing cost of GaN HEMTs be low enough to capture a lion s share or just a niche portion of the market ...

The 1// gain fluctuations in HEMTs require a high chopping frequency. Prior to the lockin amplifier, the variance of the output of a HEMT radiometer in a 1 Hz bandwidth (tint = 0.5 sec) centered at / is given by... 

Note that the quantum limit on coherent receivers is 0.5hv/k or 0.024 K/GHz (Wright, 1999). This corresponds to 0.5 photons per mode. The 0.3 K/GHz for cryogenic HEMTs is about 7 photons/mode. At 72 GHz the CMB has only n = 0.4 photons per mode, where n = (exp[hv/kT] — l)-1 is the mean number of photons per mode. Thus a background-limited incoherent detector could be much more sensitive than a coherent radiometer using HEMTs.
