CoolFET Hybrid
The CoolFET hybrid contains three (3) FETs that are
placed on top of a thermoelectric cooler and enclosed in a
TO-8 package. There are two main advantages to cooling
the FET: it reduces the leakage current and increases the
transconductance, both of which reduce the electronic noise
of the system. The increased transconductance provides a
much improved noise slope (eV/pF) over un-cooled
systems, which is especially important for large capacitance
detectors.
