Abstract

We report millimeter wave generation by a self-sustained current oscillation in a doped InGaAs/InAlAS wide miniband superlattice. The superlattice (miniband width 160 meV) showed, at room temperature, a current voltage characteristic with negative differential conductance. Coupled to a high-frequency circuit, the superlattice generated millimeter waves, at a frequency (55 GHz) which was tunable by half a percent by changing the bias voltage. The power (0.3 mW) corresponded to an efficiency (i.e., ratio of microwave power to dc power input) of 0.3%. We attribute the microwave generation to a current oscillation caused by traveling dipole domains. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(98)02047-6].
