Abstract
A new microwave switching device in which the switching time is limited only by electronic scattering events within the bulk semiconductor is described. When biased beyond threshold, the bulk GaAs0.7 P0.3 device exhibits an increase in resistance resulting in microwave switching in less than 200 ps.
