Abstract

Resonance Tunneling Diodes (RTDs) are devices that can demonstrate very highspeed operation. Typically they have been fabricated using epitaxial techniques and materials not consistent with standard commercial integrated circuits. We report here the first demonstration of SiO2-Si-SiO2 RTDs. These new structures were fabricated using novel combinations of silicon integrated circuit processes.
