Abstract

This paper describes some of the heterostructure devices, including the high electron mobility transistor (HEMT),-the hot electron transistor (HET), and the resonant-tunneling hot electron transistor (RHET). This is followed by a discussion of transport characteristics in the RHET, with special attention given to the resonant tunneling barrier (RTB) used as the emitter barrier of the RHET.
