Abstract
The figure-of-merit (M) of a semicondnctor-coupled SAW convolver can be improved considerably by influencing the surface of the adjacent semiconductor wafer (p-type silicon) through MOS effect by a positive bias (V) applied between a metal multistrip electrode deposited on the interaction region of the piezo-electric substrate (LiNbO2) and silicon wafer. M vs K curve shows two prominent peaks at bias levels corresponding to certain depletion and inversion conditions of the semiconductor surface.
