Smooth Quantum Hydrodynamic model vs. NEMO Simulation of Resonant Tunneling Diodes

The smooth quantum hydrodynamic model is an extension of the classical hydrodynamic model for semiconductor devices which can handle in a mathematically rigorous way the discontinuities in the classical potential energy which occur at heterojunction barriers in quantum semiconductor devices. Smooth QHD model simulations of the current-voltage curves of resonant tunneling diodes are presented wh...

High magnetic field tunneling transport in a double quantum well-triple barrier resonant tunneling diode

We have measured the magnetotransport of double GaAs quantum well-triple AlAs barrier resonant tunneling heterostructures in pulsed magnetic fields up to 48 T, and temperatures down to 0.3 K. The tunneling structure is designed for a near-simultaneous (triple) resonance, under bias, of the quantum well energy levels and the lowest quasi-2D emitter state. The fan chart of the I(V) resonances is ...

Resonant tunneling diode circuits using Pspice

The measured I –V data and the large-signal equivalent circuit of a resonant tunneling diode are exploited, through the analog behavioral modeling capabilities of Pspice, to create a Pspice compatible model for the diode. The model is used, with very few other components, in the simulation of a number of circuit applications including a sinusoidal wave generator, a frequency multiplier and thre...
