摘要
GaAs core-shell p-n junction tunnel diodes were demonstrated by combining vapor liquid solid growth with gallium oxide deposition by atomic layer deposition for electrical isolation. The characterization of an ensemble of core shell structures was enabled by the use of a tungsten probe in a scanning electron microscope without the need for lithographic processing. Radial tunneling transport was observed, exhibiting negative differential resistance behavior with peak-to-valley current ratios of up to 3.1. Peak current densities of up to 2.1 kA/cm(2) point the way to applications in core shell photovoltaics and tunnel field effect transistors.
