Noise performance of different structures of anisotype heterojunction double-drift region (DDR) mixed tunneling and avalanche transit time (MITATT) devices has been studied. The devices are designed for operation at millimeter-wave W-band frequencies. A simulation model has been developed to study the noise spectral density and noise measure of the device. Two different mole fractions and of Ge and corresponding four types of device structure are considered for the simulation. The results show that the -Si heterojunction DDR structure of MITATT device excels all other structures as regards noise spectral density (  sec) and noise measure (33.09 dB) as well as millimeter-wave properties such as DC-to-RF conversion efficiency (20.15%) and CW power output (773.29 mW).

The feasibility of CMOS circuits operating at frequencies in the upper millimeter wave and low sub-millimeter frequency regions has been demonstrated. A 140-GHz fundamental mode VCO in 90-nm CMOS, a 410-GHz push-push VCO in 45-nm CMOS, and a 180-GHz detector circuit in 130-nm CMOS have been demonstrated. With the continued scaling of MOS transistors, 1-THz CMOS circuits will be possible. Though these results are significant, output power of signal generators must be increased and acceptable noise performance of detectors must be achieved in order to demonstrate the applicability of CMOS for implementing practical terahertz systems.
