Noise model for the superconducting-base semiconductor-isolated transistor

A. Davidson, David J. Frank

A simple noise model for bipolar transistors is adapted to the superconducting base semiconductor isolated transistor (SUBSIT). The model includes two statistically independent shot noise current sources in a lumped element model. For the case where the emitter of the SUBSIT is a normal metal, it is shown that the bipolar model carries over intact. For a SUBSIT with a superconducting emitter as well as base, the noise performance improves tremendously, due to the sharper turn-on characteristic. Noise temperatures in the milli-Kelvin regime are possible, and the energy resolution is likely to be quantum-limited.>

Quantum Mechanical Transmission and Reflection of Quasi-Particles at Arbitrary Potential Barriers in the Superconducting Base Transistor

Tetsuya Yamamoto, Hiroshi Suzuki, Tatsuro Usuki +2 more

We propose a systematic method for calculating the quasi-particle transmission, T, and reflection, R, probabilities at the arbitrary potential barrier, by using multistep potential approximation. T and R were calculated from first principles using the Bogoliubov equations of motion. For the N/I/S emitter-base tunneling junction and base-collector heterojunction in the superconducting base transistor, T and R were computed as functions of quasi-particle energy, potential barrier height and width. In the case of the YBCO/n-InGaAs base-collector heterojunction with a Schottky barrier height of 70 meV, it was found that T was greater than 0.5. This suggests that a combination of YBCO and n-InGaAs is suitable for use in the base-collector heterojunction of a superconducting base transistor. We also show I-V curves for the N/I/S tunneling junction.

Superconducting InGaAs junction field-effect transistors with Nb electrodes

Alan W. Kleinsasser, Thomas Nelson Jackson, David T. McInturff +3 more

We describe the design, fabrication, and characterization of superconducting In0.47Ga0.53As junction field-effect transistors (JFETs) with Nb source and drain electrodes. In0.47Ga0.53As has the advantage of combining large coherence length and high Schottky barrier transmission, making it a very attractive material on which to base superconducting FETs. At large voltages these devices behave as normal FETs in either enhancement or depletion modes, while at small voltages they act as Josephson junctions or super-Schottky diodes. Both normal and super- currents are controlled by the gate.
