Modeling current-voltage and hysteretic current-voltage characteristics with two resonant tunneling diodes connected in series

Abstract

The current-voltage ( I- V) and extrinsic hysteresis phenomena in a series combination of two resonant tunneling diodes with identical and different electrical parameters are analyzed and simulated. The derived I- V characteristic of the series circuit can be applied to the design and estimation of multipeak I- V characteristic before the circuit accomplishment. Some equations are derived to facilitate the circuit design.
