Gallium-arsenide deep-level tunnel diode with record negative conductance and record peak current density
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tunnel diodes utilizing deep-levels in low-temperature-grown (LTG) gallium-arsenide (GaAs) are demonstrated. These tunnel diodes achieve peak-to-valley current ratios as high as 22, a record negative-conductance-per-area of 1/226 Xlm, and a record peak current density of 16 kA/cm, all at room-temperature. 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Sidewall GaAs tunnel junctions fabricated using molecular layer epitaxy.
In this article we review the fundamental properties and applications of sidewall GaAs tunnel junctions. Heavily impurity-doped GaAs epitaxial layers were prepared using molecular layer epitaxy (MLE), in which intermittent injections of precursors in ultrahigh vacuum were applied, and sidewall tunnel junctions were fabricated using a combination of device mesa wet etching of the GaAs MLE layer ...
متن کاملGallium-arsenide deep-level pin tunnel diode with very negative conductance
Tunnel diodes, which show negative differential conductance (NDC), are important components of amplifiers and oscillators in future highspeed terahertz (THz) systems. The magnitude of the NDC per area determines the maximum attainable frequency of an oscillator. Here we demonstrate the first tunnel diodes utilising deep–levels in low-temperature-grown (LTG) gallium arsenide (GaAs). At room temp...

متن کاملImplications of Record Peak Current Density In0.53Ga0.47As Esaki Tunnel Diode on Tunnel FET Logic Applications
Inter-band tunnel field effect transistors (TFETs) have recently gained a lot of interest because of their ability to eliminate the 60mV/dec sub-threshold slope (STS) limitation in MOSFET. This can result in higher ION-IOFF ratio over a reduced gate voltage range, thus predicting TFETs superior for low supply voltage (VDD 0.5V) operation. Unlike Si and Ge, III-V semiconductors like In0.53Ga0....

We demonstrate high performance enhancementmode (E-mode) GaAs NMOSFETs with an epitaxial gate dielectric layer of La1.8Y0.2O3 grown by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) on GaAs(111)A substrates. A 0.5-μm-gate-length device has a record-high maximum drain current of 336 mA/mm for surface-channel E-mode GaAs NMOSFETs, a peak intrinsic transconductance of 210 mS/mm, a subthreshold swing of 97 mV/dec and ...
