Drift Velocity vs. Electric FieldSilicon at Room Temperature Ref. Sze
Ref Sze Drift Velocity vs Electric Field
Ref Sze Measured velocity-field characteristics
Electron accumulation in the Presence of Negative Differential Resistivity (NDR) Ref: Liao
Eventually, the process evens out and velocities are equal. Space charge than drifts to anode end and the process repeats.

Gunn Domain Modes Ref Liao
Numerical simulation of the time- dependant behavior of cathode- nucleated TED for the transit-time domain mode. Each successive time is 24ps. ref. Sze
Gunn Domain Modes Ref Liao
Numerical simulation of the time- dependant behavior of cathode- nucleated TED for the quenched domain mode. Each successive time is 24ps. ref. Sze
Bias- dependent RF characteristics of a D-band InP TED
Mechanical tuning characteristic for the D-band InP TED close to maximum bias
Typical Structures and Doping Profiles for TED Devices Ref. Sze
Solid-State Device Power Output vs Frequencyref: Sze and modifiedby Tian
State-of-theArt RF Power Levels for TED under CW operationref. Sze
Summary of Transferred Electron Devices - 1 Ref: Golio (2003) • Widely used in oscillators from the microwave through high mm-wave frequency bands. • Good RF output power capability (mW to W level) • Moderate efficiency (20%) • Excellent noise and bandwidth capability
Summary of Transferred Electron Devices - 2 Ref: Golio (2003) • Fabricated at low cost • Excellent price-to-performance ratio, for example, most common oscillator device used in police automotive radars • Many commercially available solid-state sources for 60 to 100 GHz (for example, automotive collision-avoidance radars) often use InP TEDs.
