Abstract
An In0.53Ga0.47AsN0.01/AlAs0.56Sb0.44 resonant tunnelling diode (RTD) has been fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy on InP substrates for the first time. A clear negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristic was observed at room temperature, where the peak/valley (P/V) ratio is as high as 19.6. This result indicates that the use of an InGaAsN layer in the RTD structure is very effective on obtaining an NDR characteristic with high P/V ratio.
