摘要
Room temperature (RT) I-V characteristics of epitaxially grown Si/Si0.5Ge0.5/Si p(+)-i-n(+) Esaki tunneling diodes are presented. A detailed investigation of the tunneling mechanism shows the importance of the incorporated Ge for an enhancement of the tunneling probability, due to a reduction of the tunneling barrier. The variation of the deposited P at the i-n(+) interface, to provide a delta-doping layer, results in a monotonic increase of the peak current with increasing doping concentration. The optimization of the post-growth annealing process results in a peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) of 4.2. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
