The Thunderbird Technologies Fermi-FET concepts have been explored via several Ph.D. dissertations at Georgia Institute of Technology and Duke University. Prof. James D. Meindl at Georgia Tech and Prof. Richard B. Fair at Duke University were supervisors of this work. In addition, a number of papers have been submitted to refereed journals and conferednces.  Following here are some references. Please contact Thiunderbird for copies of these papers and/or dissertations.

Thunderbird Internal Documents

In addition to the externally publsihed works, Thunderbird maintains a library of internal white papers, journal submissions and PowerPoint presentations which may be made available upon request.  The PowerPoint presentations  are usually tailored by request for particular product areas.  These presentations are complete with device diagrams, analytical expressions, figures and provide fundamental Fermi-FET theory, experimental data, and application discussions.
