Mixing and rectification properties of MIM diodes

In this work we study the nonlinearity of the I—V characteristic of a MIM diode, as a source of information of its fundamental properties. While tunneling theory explains at least qualitatively the behavior of the high resistance contacts ( R > 100 Ω), it falls short to explain the behavior of lo...

Zusammenfassung:In this work we study the nonlinearity of the I—V characteristic of a MIM diode, as a source of information of its fundamental properties. While tunneling theory explains at least qualitatively the behavior of the high resistance contacts ( R > 100 Ω), it falls short to explain the behavior of low resistance contacts. For low resistance contacts heating effects may become important.
