Abstract

A tunneling injection mechanism into the channel of a modulation doping field effect transistor is discussed. In the presaturation regime of the drain current, the source current exhibits negative differential resistance as a result of the charge control by the gate field in the channel. The tunneling three-terminal device promises high-frequency operation.
