Abstract :
Cutoff frequency of resonant tunneling diodes (RTD´s) designed for operation in millimeter wave subharmonic mixers is analyzed and investigated. The delay of electrons in the RTD quantum well and localized electron states at heterointerfaces of RTD active layers are observed experimentally.
