  • Gunn Effect in Silicon Nanowires: Charge Transport Under High Electric Field
    Gunn Effect in Silicon Nanowires: Charge Transport under High Electric Field Daryoush Shiri1, Amit Verma2, Reza Nekovei2, Andreas Isacsson1, C. R. Selvakumar3, and M. P. Anantram4 1Department of Physics, Chalmers University of Technology, SE-41296 Göteborg, Sweden 2Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Kingsville, Texas 78363, USA 3Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1, Canada 4Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195-2500, USA Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected] Abstract: Gunn (or Gunn-Hilsum) Effect and its associated negative differential resistivity (NDR) emanates from transfer of electrons between two different energy bands in a semiconductor. If applying a voltage (electric field) transfers electrons from an energy sub band of a low effective mass to a second one with higher effective mass, then the current drops. This manifests itself as a negative slope or NDR in the I-V characteristics of the device which is in essence due to the reduction of electron mobility. Recalling that mobility is inversely proportional to electron effective mass or curvature of the energy sub band. This effect was observed in semiconductors like GaAs which has direct bandgap of very low effective mass and its second indirect sub band is about 300 meV above the former. More importantly a self-repeating oscillation of spatially accumulated charge carriers along the transport direction occurs which is the artifact of NDR, a process which is called Gunn oscillation and was observed by J. B. Gunn. In sharp contrast to GaAs, bulk silicon has a very high energy spacing (~1 eV) which renders the initiation of transfer-induced NDR unobservable.

  • Gunn Diode - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1
    Gunn diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 Gunn diode From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A Gunn diode , also known as a transferred electron device (TED), is a form of diode, a two-terminal passive semiconductor electronic component, with negative resistance, used in high-frequency electronics. Its largest use is in electronic oscillators to generate microwaves, in applications such as radar speed guns and microwave relay data link transmitters. Its internal construction is unlike other diodes in that it consists only of N-doped semiconductor material, whereas most diodes consist of both P and N-doped regions. It therefore does not conduct in only one direction and cannot rectify alternating current like other diodes, which is why some sources do not use the term diode and prefer TED. In the Gunn diode, three regions exist: two of them are heavily N-doped on each terminal, with a thin layer of A Russian-made Gunn diode lightly doped material in between. When a voltage is applied to the device, the electrical gradient will be largest across the thin middle layer. If the voltage is increased, the current through the layer will first increase, but eventually, at higher field values, the conductive properties of the middle layer are altered, increasing its resistivity, causing current to fall. This means a Gunn diode has a region of negative differential resistance in its current-voltage characteristic curve, in which an increase of voltage across it causes a decrease in current. This property allows it to amplify, functioning as a radio frequency amplifier, or become unstable and oscillate, when it is biased with a DC voltage.

  • Basics and Types of Diodes
    Basics and Types of Diodes Introduction to Diode: A diode is an electric device that permits the flow of current only in one direction and restricts the flow in the opposite direction. The most ordinary sort of diode in current circuit design is the semi-conductor diode, even though additional diode technologies are present. The word “diode” is traditionally aloof for tiny signal appliances, I ≤ 1 A. When a diode is positioned in a simple battery lamp circuit, then the diode will either permit or stop flow of current through the lamp, all this depend on the polarization of the volts applied. There are various sorts of diode but their fundamental role is identical. The most ordinary kind of diode is silicon diode; it is placed in a glass cylinder. The symbol of diode is represented as follows: Diode Operation: A diode starts its operations when a voltage signal applies across its terminals. A DC volt is applied so that diode starts its operation in a circuit and this is known as Biasing. Diode is similar to a switch which is one way, hence it can be either in conduction more or non-conduction mode. “ON” mode of the diode, is attained by forward biasing, which simply means that higher or positive potential is applied on the anode and on the cathode, negative or lower potential is applied of a diode. Whereas the “OFF” mode of the diode is attained with the aid of reverse biasing which simply means that higher or positive potential is applied on the cathode and on the anode, negative or lower potential is applied of a diode.

  • Unit-VII Microwave Engineering
    Unit-VII Microwave Engineering UNIT-VII MICROWAVE SOLID STATE DEVICES Introduction Even though in the earlier stages of development of microwave technology, it was the tubes that played a key role, in later stages it is the semiconductor or solid state source that took the lead. The development of semiconductor technology in general helped in fabricating low voltage operated and miniaturized solid state sources at a low cost. With the advent of microwave solid state devices, the microwave applications in the area of consumer electronics rapidly expanded. The solid state sources are claimed of the advantages of longer life, requiring low voltages, easy control of amplitude of the transmitted wave form, wider bandwidths, low production costs and air cooling. In this chapter, the basic principles of functioning of Gunn diodes are first explained. Different modes of operation and theories explaining their behavior are then discussed. IMPATT and TRAPATT diodes are used to design microwave amplifiers and oscillators. Their function and design aspects are then explained. Tunnel diodes, varactor diodes are introduced and the theory of their functioning is illustrated parametric amplifies and tunnel diode amplifiers are then discussed. The chapter is concluded with a discussion on detector diodes. GUNN DIODES Gunn oscillators and amplifiers are most important microwave devices that have been extensively used as a local oscillators and power amplifiers covering the frequency range of 1 to 100 GHz in which Gunn diode is a critical part. Gunn diode is an n-type semi-conductor slab of one of the compounds, namely Ga As (Figure 7.1), InP, InAs, InSb and CdTd.

  • Electronic Circuit with Controllable Negative Differential Resistance and Its Applications
    electronics Article Electronic Circuit with Controllable Negative Differential Resistance and its Applications Vladimir Ulansky 1,2,*, Ahmed Raza 3 and Hamza Oun 2 1 Research and Development Department, Mathematical Modelling & Research Holding Limited, London W1W 7LT, UK 2 Department of Electronics, National Aviation University, 03058 Kyiv, Ukraine; [email protected] 3 Projects and Maintenance Section, The Private Department of the President of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi 000372, UAE; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44(0)2038236006 or +380632754982 Received: 5 March 2019; Accepted: 3 April 2019; Published: 8 April 2019 Abstract: Electronic devices and circuits with negative differential resistance (NDR) are widely used in oscillators, memory devices, frequency multipliers, mixers, etc. Such devices and circuits usually have an N-, S-, or L-type current-voltage characteristics. In the known NDR devices and circuits, it is practically impossible to increase the negative resistance without changing the type or the dimensions of transistors. Moreover, some of them have three terminals assuming two power supplies. In this paper, a new NDR circuit that comprises a combination of a field effect transistor (FET) and a simple bipolar junction transistor (BJT) current mirror (CM) with multiple outputs is proposed. A distinctive feature of the proposed circuit is the ability to change the magnitude of the NDR by increasing the number of outputs in the CM. Mathematical expressions are derived to calculate the threshold currents and voltages of the N-type current-voltage characteristics for various types of FET. The calculated current and voltage thresholds are compared with the simulation results.

Department of ETi.fe C fe-K< C- The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date ( < ^eLPT 7£ ABSTRACT Two types of devices, planar Gunn diodes and the negative resistance field effect transistors, have been investigated. Their fabrication, testing and properties are discussed. For the planar diode the Gunn domain velocity is predicted analytically and shown experimentally to decrease with, decreasing product of carrier concentration and diode thickness. A particular structure of GaAs FET which displays a static negative differential resistance (SNDR) characteristic without Gunn instability has been made. The mechanism of the SNDR is discussed and the device's uses in a number of circuits (oscillator, amplifier, phase- locked oscillator and bistable logic element) are described.
