Abstract
Resonant tunneling by fast neutron irradiation with doses from 1×1012 to 1×1016 n/cm2 was studied. We observed that peak and valley positions shifted to higher voltages, and peak-to-valley ratios decreased with higher doses in static current-voltage characteristics. Several models which take into account ionized impurities were used to give consistent explanation to such phenomena.Keywords
