摘要
A simple derivation of the form for the compact model of the quantum capacitance in a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) is presented. The quantum capacitance is shown to reduce the, resistive cutoff frequency. The implementation of the model into SPICE is described. The distorting effect of the strongly nonlinear quantum capacitance on an oscillator circuit is demonstrated in a SPICE simulation. The nonlinearity becomes important for the highest frequency applications when the RTD capacitance is comparable to the capacitance in the rest of the circuit.
