Theoretical analysis models electrical conduction in metal-semiconductor junctions with tunneling, highlighting potential applications in harmonic frequency converters.
The current-voltage characteristic of metal-semiconductor junctions is described by a simple equation which is the product of an exponential and a hyperbolic sine function if one includes the effect of tunneling. In the case of equal current flow via tunneling and via thermionic emission the conductance becomes a hyperbolic cosine function of the applied voltage. Devices displaying such characteristics appear attractive for use in harmonic frequency converters.
