Abstract
Accurate predictions of the I-V characteristics of Esaki diodes, resonant tunneling diodes (RTD), and resonant interband tunneling diodes (RITD) require sophisticated models of bandstructure, charging, and scattering. We present direct comparisons of experimental and simulation data based on single, two, and 10 band models and the world's first calculation of the electrostatic potential obtained self-consistently with scattering-assisted charging. This charge results from the incoherent scattering off of alloy disorder, interface roughness, acoustic phonons and polar-optical phonons.
