DOI: 10.1109/led.2017.2673662
Abstract: A GaAs-based potential well barrier (PWB) diode having a $n^{++}-i-n^{++}$ epitaxial structure has been successfully designed and demonstrated. The diode uses a GaAs potential well inserted between two intrinsic AlGaAs regions in which charges accumulate… read more here.
