Summary :

The transistor action with negative differential resistance (NDR) of a nanometer-thick metal (CoSi2)/insulator (CaF2) resonant tunneling transistor is discussed for two transistor structures. These transistors are composed of metal-insulator (M-I) heterostructures with two metallic (CoSi2) quantum wells and three insulator (CaF2) barriers grown on an n-Si (lll) substrate. One of the two structures has the base terminal connected to one of the quantum wells next to the collector, and the other, to one next to the emitter. Although base resistance is high maybe due to the damage caused during the fabrication process, the two transistors show different characteristics, as expected theoretically. Transfer efficiency α (= IC/IE) close to unity was obtained at 77 K for electrons through the resonant levels in M-I heterostructures.
