Abstract

A Si-based resonant interband tunnel diode (RITD) is presented with a pnp configuration so that an integrated RITD can be easily used to form a latch. The I-V characteristics of this pnp RITD show symmetrical negative differential resistance (NDR) regions in both forward and reverse bias. The top diode shows a peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) of 1.63 with peak current density (J_p) of 1.5 kA/cm², while the bottom diode shows a PVCR of 1.51 with J_p of 2.0 kA/cm².
