Two Barriers

Numerical calculations by a transfer matrix method have been performed to obtain the transmission coefficient of rectangular double barrier structures. The dependence of the well width, barrier width and the barrier height was systematically investigated. When the width ratio of the two barriers was varied on condition that a total width was fixed, the transmission coefficient at a resonance is varied while that at a valley region is not. It is concluded that the resonant tunneling is characterized by two parameters: total width and the width ratio. Our results clarify the transition of transmission spectrum from a single barrier to a double barrier structure.

Peak To Valley Ratio

In this paper, novel features offered by Resonant Tunneling Diode (RTD) are reviewed by simulating it under different conditions. GaAs/AlGaAs based RTD is used as the reference one to obtain the characteristics due to parametric variations. To fulfil this purpose a simple model of resonant electronic transport through a double-barrier structure is developed. I-V characteristics are studied by varying barrier parameters and well width. Different peak and valley currents are measured under these conditions. For the same set of parameters both symmetric and asymmetric cases are considered. Different materials of lower effective mass are also taken into consideration to improve Peak to Valley Ratio (PVR). The Indium (In) based materials are considered to compare the characteristics obtained from the conventional GaAs based RTD structure. All these proposed structures are simulated using Silvaco Atlas software.

AbstractWe report on the evidence of photo-assisted resonant tunneling through localized states in AlAs/GaAs double-barrier structures (DBSs) with undoped GaAs spacers. In the photocurrent measurement, additional peaks were observed at voltages lower than that of resonance and were enhanced with the laser power. This behavior was more pronounced as the thickness of spacer layers in the DBS increased. These results are attributed to the resonant tunneling of electrons through the localized states, they are induced in the neighboring barriers, by the photoexcited carriers in spacers. We discuss the localization effect of photoexcited carriers on the resonant tunneling.
