Abstract
Scattering matrix formulation of resonant tunneling is derived for a one dimensional double barrier structure. This formulation is more accurate than the path integral formulation developed by the author and is usable for device simulation. The point in which it most differs from the existing methods is that the effect of scattering is taken into account by cutting off the number of reflections in the well so that they become finite.Keywords
