【Abstract】 This paper provides a succinct review of progress and perspective of research on resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs). The main issues discussed include why RTD research has been kept active for years, to what extent RTDs can be modeled, and what the important issues are in terms of device characteristics, material and structural considerations. Centered at these questions, the basic concepts pertinent to quantum transport modeling and RTD properties are introduced, and a brief comparison with other similar quantum devices is presented.更多还原
