摘要：

The experimental and simulated switching behavior across the negative differential resistance (NDR) region ofGaN/AlN double-barrier resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) is presented. The shortest 10%-90% experimental switching time was 55 ps. The experimental results are also studied with P-SPICE circuit models, which show that the relatively low peak-to-valley current ratio (1.5), relatively high specific contact resistance (>= 1 x 10(-6) cm(2)), and relatively large specific capacitance limit the switching time.
