Heterojunction band offset engineering
Control of band discontinuities in semiconductor heterostructures may introduce a new important degree of freedom in the design of heterojunction devices and allow independent optimization of carrier injection, carrier confinement and ionization thresholds in high speed and optoelectronic devices. We will review recently proposed methods to microscopically control heterojunction parameters by m...
متن کاملA New Model of Multiphonon Excitation Trap-Assisted Band-to-Band Tunneling
The paper describes a new approach to calculating the currents in a pn-diode based on the extension of the Shockley-Read-Hall recombination-generation model. The presented theory is an alternative to Schenk’s model of trap-assisted tunneling. The new approach takes into account generation and recombination as well as tunneling processes in pn-junctions. Using this model, the real “soft” I-V cur...
متن کاملFull Band Atomistic Modeling of Homo-junction InGaAs Band-to-Band Tunneling Diodes Including Band Gap Narrowing
A homo-junction In0.53Ga0.47As tunneling diode is investigated using full-band, atomistic quantum transport approach based on a tight-binding model (TB) and the Non-equilibrium Green’s Function formalism. Band gap narrowing (BGN) is included in TB by altering its parameters using the Jain-Roulston model. BGN is found to be critical in the determination of the current peak and the second turn-on...

متن کاملBand-to-band tunneling in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors.
A detailed study on the mechanism of band-to-band tunneling in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) is presented. Through a dual-gated CNFET structure tunneling currents from the valence into the conduction band and vice versa can be enabled or disabled by changing the gate potential. Different from a conventional device where the Fermi distribution ultimately limits the gate volta...
