Phenomena Unique to Sub-Micrometer Devices

Abstract

An algorithm developed to solve the time dependent Liouville equation in the coordinate representation was implemented to examine phenomena unique to submicron structure. Quantum transport of electrons and holes in III-V and II-VI resonant tunneling structures was investigated. Attention was focused on the tunneling in and out of quantum wells by both electrons and holes. It was determined that characteristic transients including tunneling and capacitive contributions was of the order of one picosecond.
