A castellated-gate MOSFET tetrode device capable of fully depleted operation is disclosed. The device includes a semiconductor substrate region having an upper portion with a top surface and a lower portion with a bottom surface. A source region and a drain region are formed in the semiconductor substrate region, with adjoined primary and secondary channel-forming regions also disposed therein between the source and drain regions, thereby forming an integrated cascade structure. Trench isolation insulator islands, having upper and lower surfaces, surround the source and drain regions as well as the channel-forming regions. Both the primary and secondary channel-forming regions include pluralities of thin, spaced, vertically-orientated semiconductor channel elements that span longitudinally along the device between the source and drain regions. First and second gate structures are provided in the form of pluralities of spaced, castellated first and second gate elements interposed between the primary and secondary channel elements, respectively, with first and second top gate members interconnecting the first and second gate elements at their upper vertical ends to cover the primary and secondary channel elements. The adjoined primary and secondary channel elements are super-self-aligned from the first and second gate elements to the source and drain regions. Finally, first and second dielectric layers separate the primary and secondary channel elements from their respective gate structures.

An RF mixer includes a diode quad including first, second, third and fourth carbon nanotube diodes, each carbon nanotube diode including a p-n junction The mixer also includes a RF input coupled each of the diodes, and a local oscillator input coupled with each of the diodes.

An electrode system for an ion source has a source electrode that defines a source aperture in an ion source chamber, and is coupled to a source power supply. A first ground electrode defines a first ground aperture that is electrically coupled to an electrical ground potential and extracts ions from the ion source. A suppression electrode is positioned downstream of the first ground electrode and defines a suppression aperture that is electrically coupled to a suppression power supply. A second ground electrode is positioned downstream of the suppression electrode and defines a second ground aperture. The first and second ground electrodes are fixedly coupled to one another and are electrically coupled to the electrical ground potential.
