摘要
A new quantum hydrodynamic transport model based on a quantum fluid model is used for numerical calculations of different quantum sized devices. The simulation of monolithic integrated circuits of resonant tunneling structures and high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) based on In0.53Ga0.47As-In0.52Al0.48As-InP is demonstrated. With the new model, it is possible to describe quantum mechanical transport phenomena like resonant tunneling of carriers through potential, barriers and particle accumulation in quantum wells. Different structure variations, especially the resonant tunneling diode area and the gate width of the HEMT structure, show variable modulations in the output characteristics of the monolithic integrated device.
