110-GHz monolithic resonant-tunneling-diode trigger circuit

The design and fabrication of a novel resonant tunneling diode (RTD) structure to be used in a monolithically integrated trigger circuit are reported. The structure has been designed to have high peak current densities with relatively low resonant voltages. These devices have been monolithically integrated with resistors to build a high-frequency trigger circuit. Experiments demonstrated triggering performance up to 110 GHz with subpicosecond timing jitter.<
