Resonant Tunneling Diode Learning Materials

by Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck

By completing the Resonant Tunneling Diode Simulation with NEGF, users will be able to: a) understand the principle of operation of resonant tunneling diode, b) the meaning of the quasibound states, resonant and non-resonant tunneling and c) the concept of quantum interference which is the basis for the formation of quasi-bound states and the operation of a Resonant Tunneling Diode.


The specific objectives of the Resonant Tunneling Diode Module are:
