New Negative Conductance in GaAs n+-n-n+ Ballistic Diode –Time-Dependent Computer Simulation–

Abstract
Time-dependent computer simulations were performed to investigate the high-frequency effects of a GaAs n+-n-n+ ballistic diode. A new negative conductance, found previously using a simplified diode model, was confirmed by the numerical simulation, though the results differed considerably from those obtained previously. It is demonstrated that a GaAs n+-n-n+ ballistic diode exhibits negative conductance over a wide frequency range over 1000 GHz. The diode can be expected to act as a new solid-state source in the far-infared frequency range.
