A new ZnO-on-Si convolver structure

Abstract
A new surface acoustic wave (SAW) convolver has been fabricated on a silicon substrate. The device employs a planar-processed, high-speed DMOS transistor as a mixer to implement the convolution cross terms, utilizing the nonlinear dependence of drain current on gate voltage. The input waveforms are SAW's at 45 MHz, and the interaction path length is 0.9 mm. A value of -29 dbm is obtained for the internal bilinear conversion efficiency Fint.
