Abstract :
We designed and fabricated an AlAs/GaAs/InGaAs/GaAs/AlAs Resonant Tunneling Diode (RTD) with two types of epitaxial structures grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). The devices have shown excellent I-V characteristics with peak-valley current ratio (PVCR) 5:1 at room temperature and a high peak current density. The DC and AC characterizations are reported and analyzed.
