“…For the RTD resonator we later describe a figure of merit we refer to as the intrinsic resonator efficiency (IRE). The label intrinsic is carefully chosen to illustrate that device fabrication (with arising issues such as minimizing contact resistance, preventing sidewall leakage) benefit from the extensive canon [12]- [14] that exists from manufacturing devices with similar requirements. Whilst the resonant tunneling process is generally acknowledged as a femtosecond-scale event, the RTD device behaves as a high frequency electrical resonator, analogous to a Fabry-Pérot cavity.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
