AbstractWe report on the effects of uniaxial pressure on (001)-oriented AlGaAs/GaAs and InAs/AlSb/GaSb double barrier resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs). The current–voltage characteristics of the AlGaAs/GaAs RTDs shift asymmetrically due to stress-induced piezoelectric fields in the barriers and well structures. Although all the materials involved are piezoelectric, the interband InAs/AlSb/GaSb resonant tunneling device surprisingly shows, in contrast to the AlGaAs/GaAs one, a symmetrical behavior for the same orientation [110] of the applied pressure. We explain the observed differences considering the different tunneling paths involved in the conduction mechanism of the two heterostructure device types as well as their pressure dependencies. ©1998 American Institute of Physics.
