NEW ANALYTIC DC MODELS FORTUNNEL DIODE AND RESONANT TUNNELING DIODE Chien M. Ta (SMA) Fujiang Lin (IME) Subhash R. Chander (IME) SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTRONICS June 2004
Outline • Introduction • Literature reviews • Approach and tools • Achievements • Remarks and discussions Symposium on Electronics 2004
Introduction • Motivations • UWB system design • Currently, no RTD’s model in commercial EDA tools • Objectives • Analytic expressions for the I-V characteristic curves of TD and RTD Symposium on Electronics 2004
Reviews Existing models • Piecewise linear model(Tai-Haur Kuo et al., Ralph P. Santoro) • Polynomial fit model (M. R. Deshpande et al.) • Gaussian-exponential combination (Zhixin Yan and M.J.Deen) • Physics-based model (J. N. Schulman et al.) What are the interesting features of tunnel diode and resonant tunneling diode? I-V characteristic • Negative differential resistance (NDR) • Fast • Temperature insensitivity Symposium on Electronics 2004
Modeling • Analytical approach • Tools: MATLAB, IC-CAP Symposium on Electronics 2004
Methodology I-V characteristicmeasurement Mathematic analysis Model proposal Unsatisfactory match Simulation Compare Final model Satisfactory match Symposium on Electronics 2004

Simulation Final RMS error = 0.95% Maximum error = 2.28% I-V characteristic with extracted values I-V characteristic with optimized values Symposium on Electronics 2004
New model for resonant tunneling diode where I-V characteristic A IS n Symposium on Electronics 2004
Simulation Simulation result Final RMS error = 3.813% Symposium on Electronics 2004
Symmetric characteristics for RTD where Symmetric I-V characteristic Simulation result Symposium on Electronics 2004
One model for both TD and RTD ? Recognizable deviation in the reverse-biased region (not very critical since the devices are usually biased in the NDR region) Final RMS error = 1.03% Not much degradation compared to 0.95% RMS error of the TD’s model Symposium on Electronics 2004
Remarks, conclusion, and future works • Remarks • Excellent match between simulation and measurement: RMS error is less than 1% for TD and 3.8% for RTD • Need accurate measurement, especially for ac modeling: de-embedding technique • Need modification to have scalability • Conclusion • The new DC model for the RTD is sufficient to describe the behaviors of the devices • Future works • AC model expansion • Implementation into EDA tools • Coding in Verilog-A Symposium on Electronics 2004
