An Heterojunction Schottky Barrier Diode with RTD Emitter
The possible application of Schottky diodes as detector elements in receivers and image sensing systems operating in the THz frequency range has been demonstrated in the literature. In addition to metal-semiconductor (M-S) Schottky diodes, the use of heterojunction Schottky barrier diodes for detection and mixing applications has also been explored. Such diodes require lower d.c. bias voltages,...
متن کاملConsiderations for Homodyne Detection Systems
The effects of modulation frequency, RF reference power, and external bias upon the sensitivity and dynamic range of microwave homodyne detection systems was measured for point contact diodes and low l/f noise Schottky and backward diodes. The measurements were made at 4.89 GHz using a signal to noise ratio of 3 dB and a detection system bandwidth of 10 Hz. Maximum sensitivities of -135, -150, ...
متن کاملBarrier inhomogeneities limited current and 1/f noise transport in GaN based nanoscale Schottky barrier diodes
The electrical behaviour of Schottky barrier diodes realized on vertically standing individual GaN nanorods and array of nanorods is investigated. The Schottky diodes on individual nanorod show highest barrier height in comparison with large area diodes on nanorods array and epitaxial film which is in contrast with previously published work. The discrepancy between the electrical behaviour of n...
متن کاملImpact of Silicon Wafer Orientation on the Performance of Metal Source/Drain MOSFET in Nanoscale Regime: a Numerical Study
A comprehensive study of Schottky barrier MOSFET (SBMOSFET) scaling issue is performed to determine the role of wafer orientation and structural parameters on the performance of this device within Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalism. Quantum confinement increases the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH). (100) orientation provides lower effective Schottky barrier height in compa...
متن کاملEffects of the epitaxial layer thickness on the noise properties of Schottky barrier diodes
An analytical theory to describe the combined effects of the epitaxial layer thickness and the ohmic contact on the noise properties of Schottky barrier diodes is presented. The theory, which provides information on both the local and the global noise properties, takes into account the finite size of the epitaxial layer and the effects of the back ohmic contact, and applies to the whole range o...
