摘要
A monolithic array of MESFETs with progressively increasing gate lengths from 1 mum to 10 mum and two charge preamplifiers have been designed and integrated in the same chip. Low-frequency noise and dynamic characteristics of the FETs have been measured. Results show that D-FETs of the QED/A process by TriQuint, present good dynamic performances and low noise at cryogenic temperatures when the gate length has an optimum value. The preamplifier have shown very low power dissipation, fast response and reasonable noise performance despite of the use of M-FETs which do not exhibit the best noise performance of the process.
