摘要
In this work, we propose an atomically-thin all-graphene planar double barrier resonant tunneling diode that can be realized within a single graphene nanoribbon. The proposed device does not require any doping or external gating and can be fabricated using minimal process steps. The planar architecture of the device allows a simple in-plane connection of multiple devices in parallel without any extra processing steps during fabrication, enhancing the current driving capabilities of the device. Quantum mechanical simulation results, based on non-equilibrium Green's function formalism and the extended Huckel method, show promising device performance with a high reverse-to-forward current rectification ratio exceeding 50 000, and confirm the presence of negative differential resistance within the device's current-voltage characteristics.
