In this work, the presence of anomalous low-frequency noise effects in Gunn diodes has been studied and evidenced. Near the onset of Gunn instability, there is a limited range of bias voltages for which the noise significantly increases at frequencies well below the frequency of oscillation. For higher bias voltages, the oscillation becomes purer and such low-frequency noise drastically vanishes.
We report on Gallium Nitride Self switching Diode used as detector in a terahertz imaging system. We propose to use the ionic implantation to define the nano-channels in the device, leading to an improved sensitivity in the mm-wave/THz regime. Preliminary results are given at 200 GHz.
The The time-domain operation of GaAs, InP and GaN vertical n+n−nn+ Gunn diodes and GaN planar self-switching diodes (SSDs) is numerically investigated by using the Monte Carlo (MC) technique. To this end, the MC simulation of the intrinsic devices is coupled with the consistent solution of a parallel RLC resonant circuit connected in series. We show that equivalent operating conditions can be achieved...
At very low temperature, when optical phonon emission is the dominant scattering mechanism, the phenomenon known as Optical Phonon Transit Time Resonance (OPTTR) may originate current oscillations in n+ nn+ diodes at frequencies in the terahertz range. In this work, by means of Monte Carlo simulations, we study the optimum conditions for the onset of such mechanism in GaN diodes. For this purpose,...
A self-switching diode (SSD) is based on an asymmetric nanochannel. The SSD is fabricated by tailoring the boundary of a narrow semiconductor channel to break its symmetry. An applied voltage V not only changes the potential profile along the channel direction but also either widens or narrows the effective channel width, depending on its sign. This results in a strong nonlinear current-voltage I-V...
