Modulator Driver Transistor.

Abstract

This report covers the work on Air Force Contract F33615-72-C-2092, Modulator Driver Transistor. The objective of the contract was to develop a high-speed switching transistor capable of handling one ampere of collector current. A switching transistor capable of handling 850mA of collector current with turn-on and turn-off times of 1.3 nanoseconds and 2.2 nanoseconds, respectively developed. The transistor was capable of handling one ampere of collector current, however, degradation in turn-off time resulted. The transistor utilized TRW's crossgrid structure while process development included arsenic as an emitter dopant for small base width and high emitter efficiency. (Author)
