Quasi-ballistic Transport in Submicron Hg0.8Cd0.2Te Diodes: Hydrodynamic Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we analyze the problem of quasiballistic electron transport in ultra small of mercury -cadmiumtelluride (Hg0.8Cd0.2Te -MCT) n-nn devices from hydrodynamic point view. From our study, we note that, when the size of the active layer is low than 0.1μm and for low bias application ( ) mV 9 ≥ , the quasi-ballistic transport has an important effect. Keywords—Hg0.8Cd0.2Te semiconductor, Hydrodynamic mode, Quasi-ballistic transport, Submicron diode

Hydrodynamic modelling of electron transport in submicron Hg0.8Cd0.2Te diodes
We simulate electron transport in ultra small mercury-cadmium-telluride n-n-n diodes using a hydrodynamic approach. A numerical staggered solution is employed to treat the coupled hydrodynamic and Poisson equations, where the spatial profiles of the main transport parameters within the diodes are analyzed including the Auger generationrecombination processes. Our numerical results show that, ev...

متن کاملRegular conductance fluctuations indicative of quasi-ballistic transport in bilayer graphene.
Quasi-periodic conductance fluctuations are observed in the low-temperature magneto-conductance of a bilayer graphene sample. The quasi-periodic nature of the fluctuations is confirmed by their Fourier power spectrum, which consists of just a small number of dominant frequency components. From an experimental study of these features, which are highly reminiscent of those reported previously for...

The scaling of device technologies poses new challenges, not only in circuit design, but also in device modeling, especially because of the short-channel effects and the emergence of novel phenomena like ballistic transport. Nonetheless, it enables the design of ultra low-power analog and Radio Frequency (RF) circuits by allowing to push the operating points into moderate and eventually weak in...
متن کاملA Process Technology for Fabricating Submicron Ballistic Electron Vertical Diodes for THz Frequency Power Generation
GaN ballistic or quasi-ballistic electron devices require short transit distances in the order of a mean free path to avoid longitudinal optical phonon LO emission. Vertical current flow by design takes full advantage of the abrupt and thin layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Moreover, crystal orientation becomes important when ballistic transport is involved since bandstructure depen...
