This book examines the physical principles behind the operation of
high-speed transistors operating at frequencies above 10 GHz and
having switching times less than 100 psec. If the 1970s cannot be
remembered for the opportunities for creating and extensively using
transistors operating at such high speeds, then, the situation has
changed radically because of rapid progress in sub micrometer
technology for manufacturing transistors and integrated circuits
from GaAs and other semiconductor materials and the powerful influx
of new physical concepts. Not only have transistors having
switching speeds of 50-100 psec operating in the 10-20 GHz region
been created in recent years, but the possibilities for
manufacturing transistors operating one to two orders of magnitude
faster have been revealed. As superhigh-speed transistors have been
created, many of the most important areas of technology such as
communications, computing technology, television, radar, and the
manufacture of scientific, industrial, and medical equipment have
qualitatively changed. Microwave transistors operating at
millimeter wavelengths make it possible to produce compact and
highly efficient equipment for communications and radar technology.
Transistors with switching speeds better than 10-100 psec make it
possible to increase the speed of microprocessors and other
computer components to tens of billions of operations per second
and thereby solve one of the most pressing problems of modern
electronics - increasing the speed of digital information
processing.
