摘要
We report on nonlinear electrical properties of three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs) based on high-electron-mobility GaInAs/InP quantum-well structures. Nonlinear electrical transport behavior of the TBJs is found, and we show a correlation between this behavior and the linear regime of electron transmission in the devices. We also study device geometry effects on these electrical properties of the TBJs. Finally, we demonstrate room-temperature operation of the devices. The results obtained are compared with recent predictions by Xu [H. Q. Xu, Appl. Phys. Lett. 78, 2064 (2001)] and good agreement is found. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
