Digital circuit applications of resonant tunneling devices

Many semiconductor quantum devices utilize a novel tunneling transport mechanism that allows picosecond device switching speeds. The negative differential resistance characteristic of these devices, achieved due to resonant tunneling, is also ideally suited for the design of highly compact, self-latching logic circuits. As a result, quantum device technology is a promising emerging alternative for high-performance very-large-scale-integration design. The bistable nature of the basic logic gates implemented using resonant tunneling devices has been utilized in the development of a gate-level pipelining technique, called nanopipelining, that significantly improves the throughput and speed of pipelined systems. The advent of multiple-peak resonant tunneling diodes provides a viable means for efficient design of multiple-valued circuits with decreased interconnect complexity and reduced device count as compared to multiple-valued circuits in conventional technologies. This paper details various circuit design accomplishments in the area of binary and multiple-valued logic using resonant tunneling diodes (RTD's) in conjunction with high-performance III-V devices such as heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT's) and modulation doped field-effect transistors (MODFET's). New bistable logic families using RTD+HBT and RTD+MODFET gates are described that provide a single-gate, self-latching majority function in addition to basic NAND, NOR, and inverter gates

Simulation of quantum transport in monolithic ICs based on In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As RTDs and HEMTs with a quantum hydrodynamic transport model

A new quantum hydrodynamic transport model based on a quantum fluid model is used for numerical calculations of different quantum sized devices. The simulation of monolithic integrated circuits of resonant tunneling structures and high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) based on In/sub 053/Ga/sub 0.47/As-In/sub 052/Al/sub 0.48/As-InP is demonstrated. With the new model, it is possible to describe quantum mechanical transport phenomena like resonant tunneling of carriers through potential barriers and particle accumulation in quantum wells. Different structure variations, especially the resonant tunneling diode area and the gate width of the HEMT structure, show variable modulations in the output characteristics of the monolithic integrated device.     

A vertical resonant tunneling transistor for application in digitallogic circuits

A vertical resonant tunneling transistor (VRTT) has been developed, its properties and its application in digital logic circuits based on the monostable-bistable transition logic element (MOBILE) principle are described. The device consists of a small mesa resonant tunneling diode (RTD) in the GaAs/AlAs material system surrounded by a Schottky gate. We obtain low peak voltages using InGaAs in the quantum well and the devices show an excellent peak current control by means of an applied gate voltage. A self latching inverter circuit has been fabricated using two VRTTs and the switching functionality was demonstrated at low frequencies     

Experimental demonstration of single peak IV characteristics in anovel resonant tunneling diode

Single peak IV characteristics are experimentally demonstrated by a novel resonant tunneling diode, a resonant tunneling pinch-off diode (RTPD), specially designed to make the coupling between the pinch-off effect and the resonant tunneling effect in the diode itself effective. RTPDs were fabricated using the InGaAs-AlAs-InAlAs material system grown by MBE on semi-insulating InP substrate. Device parameter (emitter width and collector thickness) dependence of the IV characteristics is investigated and compared with previously reported theory. Good agreement between them confirms that the mechanism that brings about the novel characteristics in the RTPD is the above mentioned coupling, and gives guidelines for achieving an RTPD with ideal single peak IV characteristics

RTD/CMOS nanoelectronic circuits: thin-film InP-based resonanttunneling diodes integrated with CMOS circuits

The combination of resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) silicon circuitry can offer substantial improvement in speed, power dissipation, and circuit complexity over CMOS-only circuits. We demonstrate the first integrated resonant tunneling CMOS circuit, a clocked 1-bit comparator with a device count of six, compared with 21 in a comparable all-CMOS design. A hybrid integration process is developed for InP-based RTDs which are transferred and bonded to CMOS chips. The prototype comparator shows sensitivity in excess of 10⁶ VIA, and achieves error-free performance in functionality testing. An optimized integration process, under development, can yield high-speed, low power circuits by lowering the high parasitic capacitance associated with the prototype circuit
