Introduction: Negative resistance elements are important components in oscillator circuits and form the basis of many other nonlinear circuits. Resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs) have attracted much attention owing to their wide-bandwidth negative differential resistance (NDR), up to hundreds of GHz [1]. Because RTDs can be easily integrated in electronic and optoelectronic circuits, the applica...

A vertically integrated and serially connected npnp Si-based resonant interband tunnelling diode (RITD) pair is realised with low temperature molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) by monolithically stacking two RITDs with different spacer thicknesses. The asymmetric design manifests as unequal peak current densities that provide for much larger and uniform separation of the holding states for multi-valu...

High structural perfection, wafer uniformity, and reproducibility are key parameters for high-volume, low cost manufacture of resonant tunnelling diode (RTD) terahertz (THz) devices. Low-cost, rapid, and non-destructive techniques are required for the development of such devices. In this paper, we report photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy as a non-destructive characterisation technique for hig...

Resonant tunneling diode (RTD) integration with photo detector (PD) from epi-layer design shows great potential for combining terahertz (THz) RTD electronic source with high speed optical modulation. With an optimized layer structure, the RTD-PD presented in the paper shows high stationary responsivity of 5 A/W at 1310 nm wavelength. High power microwave/mm-wave RTD-PD optoelectronic oscillator...
