A hydro-dynamic model is introduced which takes into account the electrons' velocity overshoot in the depletion region, which is a more accurate high speed device than using the normal drift-diffuse model. Based on previous results, two modified UTC-PDs are presented, and an optimized device is obtained, the bandwidth of which is more than twice that of the original.展开更多
