摘要: The authors have demonstrated the crystal growth of CaF2∕CdF2∕CaF2 multilayered heterostructures on Si(100) substrates as double-barrier resonant tunneling diode structures by a low-temperature technique. Current-voltage characteristics were investigated and observed negative differential resistance (NDR) at room temperature. peak-to-valley current ratio was 2–8, 13 maximum, peak density 80–90A∕cm2. quantum-well layer thickness dependence NDR voltages is also discussed basis qualitative analytical model using Esaki-Tsu formula.
