  • Abstract
    Experimental evidence of electron velocity enhancement by hot-electron injection into the channel of a GaAs vertical FET has been obtained for the first time. The maximum transconductance and the average electron velocity are 234 mS/mm and 6.4×107 cm/s respectively, which are 1.4 and 1.9 times as large as those of a conventional vertical FET
