K. Fobelets et al., INFLUENCE OF RESISTANCES ON CHARACTERISTICS OF VERTICALLY INTEGRATED RESONANT-TUNNELING DIODES, Electronics Letters, 29(1), 1993, pp. 57-59
An equivalent circuit for vertically integrated resonant tunnelling di
odes with different diode area is proposed. Vertical and horizontal cu
rrent paths through the structure are characterised by resistances whi
ch explain the difference between the characteristics of a monolithica
lly integrated and a discrete series connection.
