A Comparative Investigation On Sub-Micrometer Inn And Gan Gunn Diodes Working At Terahertz Frequency
JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS(2012)
Abstract
We report on a simulation for wurtzite-InN and GaN Gunn diodes with notch-doping and uniform-doping structural transit regions. Results show that 0.3-1.0 mu m Gunn diodes with a diode area of 500 mu m(2) can generate fundamental frequencies of around 0.2-0.8 THz and rf currents of several hundred mA. InN diodes exhibit more stable oscillations, whereas GaN diodes generate higher oscillation frequencies at both dipole-domain mode and accumulation-domain mode due to different negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristics of high-field transport. The sharp NDR region of InN makes it more suitable for short transit region Gunn diode. Higher I-rf/I-av and lower bias voltage in InN Gunn diode imply its conversion efficiency significantly higher than GaN diode. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
