Abstract :
First accounts of the experimental details of Schottky-barrier gate GaAs FET logic circuits that use a Schottky barrier for interstage level shifting are described. Tpd and power consumption of an inverter in an 11-stage ring oscillator showed 120 ps and 12 mW, respectively, with FET gate dimensions of 3Ã50 ¿m2.
