Abstract

The coherent transmission function and the tunneling time of semiconductor superlattices can be adjusted without changing the resonance energies and therefore the miniband positions. The increase of the transmission comes along with a faster tunneling process through the transmission resonances. Using a hot‐electron transistor we give experimental evidence that the faster tunneling process leads to a reduction of the incoherent current.
