A Numerical Simulation of the Static Volt-Ampere Characteristics of the Field Effect Diode

The previously proposed Field Effect Diode (FED) has been more accurately studied and its forward I-V curve has been extracted numerically by solving the Poisson and continuity equations. In addition to the ability of modulating diode current by a capacitive coupled gate voltage, the simulation shows that the device has both positive and negative transfer conductance. This unique feature could have numerous circuit applications in various areas.
