Current oscillations in semiconductor diodes under streaming instability conditions
Abstract
The current oscillations with frequency of the order of plasma frequency in the submicron GaAs n(+)-n-p-p(+) structure are obtained by Monte Carlo particle simulation. The streaming plasma instability responsible for the current oscillations at near ballistic transport conditions is shown.
