Abstract

A complementary acoustic charge transport circuit element comprises first and second buried channels. Each of the channels is comprised of a piezoelectric semiconductor and each channel has a source through which charge is injected and a drain through which charge is extracted. A transducer propagates an acoustic wave through each channel and the propagated waves transport the charge between the sources and the drains. A source and/or a drain of one channel is connected in parallel with the corresponding souce and/or drain of the other channel. The waves are complementary at the interconnected ones of the sources and/or the drains.
