Abstract
We report the observation of resonant tunneling of holes in the GaInP/GaAs system. The tunneling structure consists of two lattice‐matched 30‐Å‐thick Ga0.51In0.49P barriers with a 40‐Å GaAs well in between, sandwiched by p‐GaAs layers. Three resonances are clearly visible in the current‐voltage characteristics with direct evidence of a negative differential resistance at 77 K. Analyzed in terms of tunneling probabilities for light and heavy holes, respectively, calculations show some discrepancy with experiment, suggesting band‐mixing effects.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
