Abstract

Resonant tunneling diodes (RTD's) with their superior high frequency characteristics, are attractive for high speed applications. As RTD's have terminal characteristics very similar to the Esaki Tunnel Diode, all current high speed applications of Esaki Tunnel Diode are good candidates for the use of new tunneling device. One such application is in high frequency trigger circuits.
