Combining resonant tunneling diodes for signal processing and multilevel logic

A device with multiple negative differential resistances was obtained by combining two AlInAs/InGaAs based resonant tunneling diodes in series. Equal peak currents and large current peak-to-valley ratios were demonstrated at room temperature. Three stable operating points were identified for trileve...

Zusammenfassung:A device with multiple negative differential resistances was obtained by combining two AlInAs/InGaAs based resonant tunneling diodes in series. Equal peak currents and large current peak-to-valley ratios were demonstrated at room temperature. Three stable operating points were identified for trilevel logic applications and a multiply-by-three circuit was demonstrated.
