Abstract

We report Monte Carlo particle (MCP) simulations of the current response and noise spectrum in heavily doped nanometric GaAs Schottky-barrier diodes (SBDs) operating under static, cyclostationary and resonant-circuit conditions in the forward bias region. Main attention is paid to the SBDs application in the THz frequency region. General features of the regular response and noise as well as their modifications under various operation modes are obtained from MCP simulations and analyzed in the framework of a simple analytical model based on the static I-V and C-V relations obtained from simulations.
