Abstract
The wurtzite gallium nitride (GaN) Gunn diodes with aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) as launcher in the notch region are investigated by negative-differential-mobility model based simulation. Under the operation of self-excitation oscillation with dipole domain mode, the simulations show that the diode with two-step-graded AlGaN launcher structure can yield the maximal rf power of 1.95 W and dc/rf conversion efficiency of 1.72% at the fundamental oscillation frequency of around 215 GHz. This kind of Gunn diode structure without the low doping process is convenient for accurately controlling the dopant concentration of GaN epitaxial growth.
