Elusive Engineering Topic

Resonant What???
  • RTDs Resonant Tunneling Diode Structures
  • - Proposed in 1969 by Esaki and Tsu
  • - Possible to design and produce controllable
    structures
  • - Common Materials are GaAs and Ga1-xAlxAs
  • - Its a quantum sandwich! YUM

Kesan, Miller

What a recipe

What we learned in class
  • Transmission coefficient can be at or near one
    with the right energy.
  • Good generalization
  • Not reality, free charge likes to ride the edge
  • If you cant take the charge carriers to resonant
    energy, then take the resonant energy to the
    charge carriers

The External Potential to the rescue
  • Band bending at
  • its best
  • Well, well, well...
  • ok so theres only
  • two wells.

Applications
  • Superior to Conventional Devices
  • High Speed
  • Low Power
  • Capabilities
  • Amplifiers
  • Oscillators
  • Wave Detectors
  • Frequency Converters

The Past
  • Proof of Concept
  • Late 60s
  • Theory experiments
  • Problems
  • Lack of knowledge
  • GaAs operates below room temperature

10
The Future
  • Moores Law

11
The Present
  • Realization
  • Silicon based
  • Millimeter-Wave Sensor
  • 3.2mm wavelength
  • Intel's avalanche photodiode
