  • Abstract
    We obtained increase in oscillation frequency of resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) using graded emitter and thin barriers for reduced transit and tunneling times. The fundamental oscillation frequency of 1.04 THz was achieved with this structure. The dependence of output power on oscillation frequency is also shown. The output power was around 10 μW in 0.9-1 THz region.
