Abstract

The resonant tunneling of electrons between valence band states and discrete subbands in the conduction band is studied in pnp-GaAs quantum well structures. The I(V) characteristics for direct tunneling processes are analyzed theoretically. Experimental results are obtained with pnp-triode structures with specially designed selective contacts. The k// parallel -dependence of the tunneling probability is important for doping concentrations of the order of 2 multiplied by 10**1**8 cm** minus **3.
