Abstract

We present a method to include the effects of light excitation on two different models of resonant-tunneling-diode-based devices. Our approach takes into account both photoconductive and charge accumulation effects responsible for shifting the static I–V curve when the structure is under light excitation. Computational simulations led to good agreement between the model and experimental results.
