Resonant tunneling permeable base transistors with high transconductance

Lind, Erik LU ; Lindström, Peter LU and Wernersson, Lars-Erik LU (2004) In IEEE Electron Device Letters 25(10). p.678-680
Abstract
A GaAs-based resonant tunneling permeable base transistor has been developed and evaluated at room temperature. The transistor is fabricated by overgrowing a tungsten gate placed next to an AlGaAs-GaAs-InGaAs resonant tunneling heterostructure. By changing the gate voltage, the effective conducting area of the tunnel diode can be modulated and the collector-emitter current thus controlled. Peak currents above 300 mA/mm and a maximum transconductance of 270 mS/mm have been obtained.
