  • Abstract
    We have fabricated SRAM´s based on resonant interband tunneling diodes in the InAs/AlSb/GaSb material system. The bistability and the switching principles are demonstrated. Numerical simulations of the memory characteristics of the SRAM cell are performed and used for comparing with experiments. Several key issues involving the applications of the device are also discussed.<>
