  • Abstract
    n-GaAs MISFETs can be operated in a quasinormally off mode using charge stored in interface states to shift the threshold voltage. The transition from static to dynamic operation can be shown to explain the logic levels achievable. Ring oscillator results predict very promising gate delays and speed-power products.
