Abstract

This letter reports the significant N-shaped negative-differential resistance characteristics with three-terminal controllability of a monolithic heterostructure resonant tunneling field-effect transistor, realized by integrating the AlAs-In/sub 0.25/Ga/sub 0.75/As-AlAs double-barrier single-well resonant tunneling (RT) structure into the drain regime of the In/sub 0.49/Ga/sub 0.51/P-In/sub 0.25/Ga/sub 0.75/As-GaAs /spl delta/-high-electron mobility transistor. A peak-to-valley current ratio in excess of 960 at room temperature has been demonstrated, with a peak current density (J/sub p/) of 50.6 mA/mm, and a valley current density (J/sub v/) of 52.7 μA/mm, respectively, with a transistor gate length of 1.0 μm. The maximum current drive density was observed to be 478 A/mm-cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> .
