Our calculations based on non-equilibrium Green function formalism show that a single band model with tunneling light electrons in Si is quantitatively sound in simulating Si based RTD's. It is found that light electrons contribute not only through 2-dimensional (2D) transverse density of states but also through the transparency of the barriers. Thus a single-band model can be safely used in applications.","PeriodicalId":377326,"journal":{"name":"CAS 2010 Proceedings (International Semiconductor Conference)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124581115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
