Tóm tắt

Resonant tunneling based devices are an intriguing set of devices with promising high speed, low power and high functionality capabilities. We have developed an technology to embed metallic features on the nm-scale inside a semiconductor. By combining such metallic features and heterostructures we have developed a new type of tunneling transistor, the so called Resonant Tunneling Permeable Base Transistor (RT-PBT), where a double barrier heterostructure is placed in close vicinity to a metal grating. A three step fabrication process is described.
