ABSTRACT:
A plurality of decoupled quantum wells in a transistor device enables such device to operate with multiple-peak characteristics. The device is suitable for a variety of circuit applications in switching systems and in central processor logic units and memories; specific applications include frequency multipliers, waveform scramblers, parity-bit generators, analog-to digital converters, and multiple-valued logic units.
