  • Abstract
    A computer simulation method is suggested which uses the microwave negative resistance distribution profile within the depletion layer of an ATT device to calculate the phase distortion due to tunnel injected current. The method has been applied to explain the deterioration of device performance in GaAs/GaInAs heterostructure IMPATTs for high frequency operation.
