Gunn oscillation can occur via the transferred electron effect or the negative differential mass effect. We have mathematically formulated the frequency response of a Gunn diode operating in the transit time mode independent of the mechanism responsible for Gunn oscillation in bulk semiconductors. Domain growth dynamics with space and time, variation of domain velocity, and frequency response have been simulated for Gallium Nitride (GaN) by using our mathematical equations. Our simulation shows that gallium nitride based Gunn diodes at an active length of 5 micrometer can produce frequency around 40 GHz for DC biasing 150 V.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
