Assignee: TOKYO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A terahertz oscillator comprising:
a slot antenna having a slot formed between a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate which are applied a bias voltage;
stabilizing resistors to respectively connect to said first electrode plate and said second electrode plate are provided in the slot;
a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) provided on said second electrode plate through a mesa; and
a conductive material member to form an air bridge between said first electrode plate and said mesa is provided,
wherein an oscillation in a terahertz frequency band is obtained due to a resonance of said RTD and said stabilizing resistors, and
wherein a width of said conductive material member is narrower than a width of said RTD for said slot antenna.
