Abstract
A novel application of a quantum ballistic channel as an ultrahigh fre quency oscillator is proposed. The generation frequency is about a rec iprocal transit time of an electron across the channel. It achieves 1 THz for channel length about 0.2 mum. The most attractive feature of a quantum ballistic channel is that it can be easily integrated into tr aditional microelectronic waveguides.
