Abstract

It is shown from self-consistent calculation that the tunnelling current through double barrier resonant tunnel diodes can be varied by introducing a third barrier to the structure and injecting a control current into the space between it and the double barrier. The third barrier causes a space charge build up and this influences the potential distribution through the device in such a way that the tunnel current can be controlled.
