摘要: 隧穿二极管在太赫兹和可见光频谱的未来整流领域中具有显著的应用前景,这得益于其拥有飞秒级的隧穿渡越时间。本研究呈现了隧穿距离分别为10 nm和5 nm的TiN/ZnO/Pt 鳍式隧道二极管(Fin tunneling diodes, FTD),它们展现出了优异的特性,其中包括超高的不对称性(10 nm器件为1.6×104,5 nm器件为1.6×103)、零偏压下的高响应度(10 nm器件为25.3 V-1,5 nm器件为28.3 V-1),均超越了传统肖特基二极管的热电压限制,并且两个器件的开启电压(Von)极低,都约为100 mV,这使得它们成为能量转换应用的理想之选。基于技术计算机辅助设计(Technology computer-aided design, TCAD)模拟,所观测到的电子传输不对称性可归因于在不同偏置条件下福勒-诺德海姆隧穿(Fowler-Nordheim tunneling, FNT)和陷阱辅助隧穿(Trap-assisted tunneling, TAT)之间的转变,这在相应的能带排列图中得以阐明。此外,通过对FTDs进行集成,本工作设计了一种具有全波整流特性的整流桥电路,其在太赫兹波段(0.1 THz)的整流性能通过Spice电路仿真得到了验证。本研究为太赫兹能量转换和探测应用提供了一种高效的解决方案。

Abstract: Tunneling diodes hold significant promise for future rectification in the terahertz and visible light spectra thanks to their femtosecond-scale transit-time tunneling capabilities. In this work, we present TiN/ZnO/Pt fin tunneling diodes (FTDs) with tunneling distances of 10 nm and 5 nm that demonstrate remarkable characteristics, including ultrahigh asymmetry (1.6×104 for 10 nm device and 1.6×103 for 5 nm device), high responsivity (25.3 V-1 for 10 nm device and 28.3 V-1 for 5 nm device) at zero bias, surpassing the thermal voltage limit of conventional Schottky diode and low turn-on voltage (Von) of approximately 100 mV for both devices, making them ideal for power conversion applications. Using technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations, the observed asymmetry in electronic transport is attributed to the transition between Fowler-Nordheim tunneling (FNT) and trap-assisted tunneling (TAT) under different biasing conditions, as illustrated by the corresponding energy band profiles. Furthermore, by integrating the FTDs, we design a rectifier bridge circuit that exhibits full-wave rectification behavior, validated through Spice simulations for THz-band operations. This advancement offers a highly efficient solution for THz-band energy conversion and effective detection applications.
