Abstract
A technique to utilize GaAs insulated gate field effect transistors (IGFETs) with large surface state densities in digital integrated circuits including latches is described. In this technique, the threshold voltage is electrically set to obtain enhancement mode characteristics of the IGFETs. Due to changes in surface charge with time, these circuits will not function at very low frequencies, but are very useful at gigahertz frequencies.
