Abstract :
Series operation of GaAs transferred-electron oscillators has been obtained by the in situ vapour growth of n+¿n¿n+¿n¿n+ structures. Devices fabricated from this structure have operated at n/f ratios as high as 3.2 à 105 s cm¿3 and have yielded conversion efficiencies as high as 13.5% at 4.0 GHz.
