Title
A GaAs pressure sensor with frequency output based on resonant tunneling diodes
Abstract
We present a novel bulk semiconductor pressure sensor based on an Al/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/As/GaAs resonant tunneling diode (RTD) with a frequency output. A relaxation oscillator is obtained with the RTD biased in the negative differential resistance (NDR) region. Pressure applied to the RTD changes the frequency of oscillation due to the shift in current-voltage characteristics. Frequency measurements...
