H. Goto et al., Development of high-efficiency strip-coupled surface acoustic wave convolver using GaSb/InSb/AlGaAsSb/LiNbO3 structures, JPN J A P 1, 39(5B), 2000, pp. 3036-3040
We have fabricated a strip-coupled surface acoustic wave [SAW] convolver us
ing GaSb/InSb/AlGaAsSb heterostructures grown on a LiNbO3 substrate. An InS
b thin film with an AlGaAsSb buffer layer was frown on a 128 degrees Y-X Li
NbO3 substrate by molecular beam epitaxy; a very high electron mobility of
7000 cm(2)/(vs) in 200-nm-thick InSb films was achieved. We have fabricated
a strip-coupled SAW convolver as a new device and have achieved a very hig
h output efficiency (F value) of -14 dBm for modified semiconductor and ele
ctrode structures.
