Abstract
Piezoelectric transistors with Schottky contacts and power conversion applications utilizing such piezoelectric transistors are disclosed. A piezoelectric transistor configured in accordance with the inventive concepts disclosed herein may be fabricated to behave as a controllable/switchable active device with an intrinsic anti-parallel diode. Piezoelectric transistors configured in this manner may be utilized in power amplifiers, power converters, as well as in a variety of electronic systems/applications.
