Abstract
Simulations of conventional Gunn diodes containing the double Gunn effect have shown a significant increase in oscillation frequency and frequency range. However, conventional Gunn diodes suffer from higher phase noise, lower efficiency, and reduced temperature stability due to the lack of a hot electron injector. A study on the performance of a Double Gunn diode with a graded gap injector is presented. The second region of negative differential mobility is gradually introduced in several temperature-dependent mobility models, which are implemented in an energy balance simulation. Devices with transit lengths of 0.7μm, 1.1μm, and 1.65μm are simulated. All devices experience an increase in oscillation frequency with increasing intensities of the double Gunn effect. The frequency range doubles at significant intensities of the effect in the devices with transit lengths of 0.7μm and 1.65μm.
