Abstract

Oscillations of space charge limited currents in short doped p-quantum well bases of ballistic diodes as a result of a negative effective mass region in the quantized hole dispersion relation are considered. Details of contact design (contact shape and Fermi-energy of injected ballistic holes) strongly affect the generation regime. This regime has a maximum voltage range for flat contacts and for an optimal Fermi-energy that would provide a quasineutral region in the diode base.
