Abstract

We report a compact resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillator with 1 mW output power at 260 GHz and a modulation bandwidth of over 110 GHz. The oscillator employs an RTD device size of 4 × 4 μm 2 resonating with an 88 μm long microstrip inductor. The total chip size is 470 × 530 μm 2. All fabrication was done using the low cost photolithography technique.
