The rest-set flip-flop of gallium nitrate based low-leakage current cantilever beam
Technical field
The present invention proposes the rest-set flip-flop of gallium nitrate based low-leakage current cantilever beam, belong to the technical field of microelectromechanical systems.
Background technology
Along with the development of digital integrated circuit, the requirement of people to digital integrated circuit is also more and more higher, people wish that the speed of device can be more and more faster, power consumption can be more and more lower, cost also can be more and more lower, but traditional MOS device can not meet the requirement of people because of its many limitation, and the appearance of GaN metal-semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) solves the matter of great urgency of people, this MESFET device is high with electron mobility, carrier drift speed is fast, energy gap is large, capability of resistance to radiation is strong, the plurality of advantages such as operating temperature range is wide are widely used in various digital integrated circuit, wherein utilize this GaN type MESFET switch and the rest-set flip-flop be made just is loved by the people.But the update of digital integrated circuit is very fast, under the trend that nowadays footprint constantly increases, size constantly reduces, it is found that the power consumption of traditional rest-set flip-flop is all a problem all the time, especially along with the integrated level of circuit improves constantly, the problem that this power consumption remains high annoyings people always.
Along with the deep development of MEMS technology, a kind of MESFET switch of the MEMS of having cantilever beam structure effectively can solve the problem of grid leakage current, and the power consumption of whole rest-set flip-flop can be reduced, therefore the present invention devises a kind of rest-set flip-flop with the cantilever beam of very little gate leakage current in semi-insulating type GaN substrate.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem: the object of this invention is to provide a kind of rest-set flip-flop of gallium nitrate based low-leakage current cantilever beam, the grid of tradition MESFET device is formed Schottky contacts by metal and channel region and is formed, because control signal is directly carried on grid, this just inevitably produces leakage current, thus the DC power that result in whole rest-set flip-flop is bigger than normal, and the present invention just very effectively reduces the grid leakage current in rest-set flip-flop, thus the DC power of rest-set flip-flop can be reduced.
Technical scheme: the rest-set flip-flop of gallium nitrate based low-leakage current cantilever beam of the present invention is produced in semi-insulating type GaN substrate, be made up of four N-type MESFET switches and two resistance R, this N-type MESFET switch comprises source electrode, drain electrode, grid and raceway groove composition, wherein two N-type MESFET switch series connection connect to form the first NAND gate, another two N-type MESFET switches series connection connects to form the second NAND gate, wherein the output of the first NAND gate is connected with an input of the second NAND gate by wire, the output of same second NAND gate is also connected with an input of the first NAND gate by wire, form the structure of full symmetric, rest-set flip-flop has two outer signal inputs to be first input end R and the second input S respectively, and two outputs are the first output Q and the second output respectively n-type MESFET switch has the cantilever beam of suspension, one end of this cantilever beam is fixed in anchor district, mid portion and the other end are across above grid, and have a gap between grid, cantilever beam is made by Au material, below cantilever beam, be also provided with two pull-down electrode, pull-down electrode is ground connection, it is also coated with silicon nitride medium layer, and this structure can reduce gate leakage current greatly, thus reduces the power consumption of device.
The threshold voltage designs of described four N-type MESFET switches is equal, and the actuation voltage of cantilever beam is designed to equal with the threshold voltage of N-type MESFET; When only having the voltage between cantilever beam and pull-down electrode to be greater than threshold voltage, the cantilever beam of suspension just drop-down being labelled on grid can make N raceway groove MESFET conducting, and offset signal is connected on grid by cantilever beam, otherwise N raceway groove MESFET just cut-off.
When R end and S end be all high level, the cantilever beam 7 of the N-type MESFET be connected with these two ends drop-downly can make its conducting, but two input signals to export Q with not impact, by Q and the N-type MESFET controlled still is in original state, so flip-flop states remains unchanged; When R end for high level, S end for low level time, with R hold be connected N-type MESFET conducting, hold the N-type MESFET be connected to end with S, therefore for high level, with the N-type MESFET conducting that end is connected, so Q output low level, now flip-flop states stabilizes to low level; When R end for low level, S end for high level time, hold the N-type MESFET be connected to end with R, hold the N-type MESFET conducting be connected with S, therefore Q is high level, holds with Q the N-type MESFET conducting be connected, so output low level, now flip-flop states stabilizes to high level; When R end and S end be all low level time, the N-type MESFET be connected with these two ends ends, therefore Q and be all high level, at this moment rest-set flip-flop is in neither 1 nondeterministic statement non-zero again, and therefore to make rest-set flip-flop normally work, input signal must observe the constraints of R+S=1, does not namely allow R=S=0.
Beneficial effect: the rest-set flip-flop of gallium nitrate based low-leakage current cantilever beam of the present invention has the cantilever beam structure of suspension, and there is one deck space between grid, therefore can reduce grid leakage current greatly, thus reduce the DC power of whole rest-set flip-flop, improve the stability of system.
