We proposed a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) with InAlGaAs/InP composite collector for reduction in transit delay caused by the gamma to L valley transition at the collector depletion region. Terahertz oscillators fabricated with this RTD show room-temperature fundamental oscillations of 680–770 GHz with the RTD areas of 1–1.5 square microns. Higher frequency will be possible by reducing the RTD area.
We report on detection of output power from an RTD oscillator using a heterodyne receiver composed of an InP-SBD and an RTD local oscillator at around 430 GHz. Spectral linewidth of the RTD oscillators was estimated from the detected signal.
Room-temperature THz oscillators using resonant tunneling diodes are shown. Structures for short transit time are fabricated toward 1 THz fundamental oscillation. Oscillators with offset slot antenna and array configuration are demonstrated for high power. Bias-dependent frequency, spectral linewidth, and direct modulation are also reported.
We demonstrated the operation of GaInAs/AlAs resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillators with high output power (100-200 μW) at frequencies of 430-460 GHz using an offset-fed slot antenna, in which the RTD was placed 45 μm from the center of a 100-μm-long antenna. The highest output power obtained in this study was 200 μW at 443 GHz for a single RTD with a peak current density of 18 mA/μm2. The output...
A fundamental oscillation of up to 831 GHz was observed at room temperature in GaInAs/AlAs resonant tunneling diodes integrated with planar slot antennas. The thickness of the collector spacer layer was optimized (20 nm) and the mesa area (<1 mum2) was reduced in order to reduce the resonant tunneling diode capacitance. Reduction in the negative differential conductance in the small mesa area was...
We observed coherent power combination in 3- and 6-element oscillator array using resonant tunneling diodes coupled through planar circuits in sub-THz range. InGaAs/AlAs resonant tunneling diode oscillators with slot antennas are arranged collinearly on the same InP wafer, and coupled with each other through a metal-insulator-metal stub structure. In 3-element array, a single peak at 293 GHz with...
