Additional information
This paper describes the first integration of an array of tantalum bridges forming the gate electrodes of resonant gate transistors (RGTs) on p-channel MOSFETs. This innovative use of tantalum enables operation down to exceptionally low frequencies (5 kHz). This EPSRC-funded research (EP/G063710) has application in adaptive acoustic transduction (e.g. hearing aids, neuromorphic systems research), obviating the need for analogue electronic band pass filters. This work is being extended at the Technical University of Melaka, Malaysia (Rhonira@utem.edu.my) and has potential for a new class of microphones.
