Polarization-engineered GaN/InGaN/GaN tunnel diodes
We report on the design and demonstration of polarization-engineered GaN/InGaN/GaN tunnel junction diodes with high current density and low tunneling turn-on voltage. Wentzel–Kramers– Brillouin calculations were used to model and design tunnel junctions with narrow band gap InGaN-based barrier layers. N-polar p-GaN / In0.33Ga0.67N /n-GaN heterostructure tunnel diodes were grown using molecular ...
متن کاملPolarization-induced Zener tunnel diodes in GaN/InGaN/GaN heterojunctions
By the insertion of thin InxGa1!xN layers into Nitrogen-polar GaN p-n junctions, polarizationinduced Zener tunnel junctions are studied. The reverse-bias interband Zener tunneling current is found to be weakly temperature dependent, as opposed to the strongly temperature-dependent forward bias current. This indicates tunneling as the primary reverse-bias current transport mechanism. The Indium ...
متن کاملP and B doped Si resonant interband tunnel diodes with as-grown negative differential resistance
Robust Si resonant interband tunnel diodes have been designed and tested that demonstrate as-grown negative differential resistance at room temperature with peak-to-valley current ratios (PVCR) up to 2.5 and peak current densities in the order of 1 kA/cm. The as-grown Si p þin þ structures were synthesised using solid source molecular beam epitaxy, incorporating B and P d-doped layers. Both str...
متن کاملTunnel-injection GaN quantum dot ultraviolet light-emitting diodes
We demonstrate a GaN quantum dot ultraviolet light-emitting diode that uses tunnel injection of carriers through AlN barriers into the active region. The quantum dot heterostructure is grown by molecular beam epitaxy on AlN templates. The large lattice mismatch between GaN and AlN favors the formation of GaN quantum dots in the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. Carrier injection by tunneling can ...
متن کاملFundamental Conductance ÷ Voltage Limit in Low Voltage Tunnel Switches
There is a fundamental conductance ÷ voltage limit in low voltage (<4kT/q) tunnel switching devices that obtain a sharp turn off by relying upon the band edges to abruptly cut off the available density of states. The Fermi occupation probabilities are thermally broadened by 4kbT. However, current is only allowed to flow in a narrow energy range limited by the applied voltage, V. This means that...
