APPLICATION OF TUNNELING TO ACTIVE DIODES

Abstract

A description is given of a simple means of masking against epitax al GaAs crystal growth on a GaAs seed. The properties of manganese-doped GaAs tunnel diodes are described. An allgermanium-doped GaAs tunnel diode and its properties are described. The dependence of hump tunnel currents upon minority carrier injection in a variety of tunnel diodes is outlined. Some of the measured properties of manganese-doped GaAs are presented. (Author)
