Abstract

Several possible contributions to the valley currents in InAs/AlSb/GaSb resonant interband tunneling diodes are analyzed. A theoretical model proposes that the field-assisted thermionic hole emission is the main valley leakage mechanism at high temperature and the Fowler–Nordheim hole tunneling is the dominant leakage path at low temperature and high bias.
