Abstract
Gated MIS tunnel diode devices having a controllable negative transconductance behavior are provided. In some embodiments, a device includes a substrate, a tunnel diode dielectric layer on a surface of the substrate, and a gate dielectric layer on the surface of the substrate and adjacent to the tunnel diode dielectric layer. A tunnel diode electrode is disposed on the tunnel diode dielectric layer, and a gate electrode is disposed on the gate dielectric layer. A substrate electrode is disposed on the surface of the substrate, and the tunnel diode electrode is positioned between the gate electrode and the substrate electrode.
