ABSTRACT:
A TUNNETT (tunneling transit time) electronic device comprising a very thin injector uniformly doped at a high concentration, a thin drift region of lower doping of the same semiconductivity type, and a collector of high doping of the same semiconductivity type. A Schottky barrier is formed by placing a metal electrode on the injector and an ohmic contact may be made on the collector. In a preferred embodiment the injector is made of Ge grown on the drift region by vacuum epitaxy. The drift region is preferably GaAs grown by epitaxy on a GaAs collector.
