Popis: This paper proposes a novel method to increase the noise margins achievable with III-V DCFL digital circuits. The idea is to increase the forward-biased potential obtainable on the gate of the enhancement device before substantial conduction occurs. The method we propose is to simply add a diode in series with the gate. Circuit simulations (MESFET and HFET) and device theory are given to support the feasibility of the Coupling Diode FET Logic (CDFL). A novel device structure, compatible with the semiconductor-gate HFET [3], also will be given.
