Abstract
Abstract-A new functional, resonant-tunneling hot electron transistor (RHET) is demonstrated in which electrons are injected from emitter to base by resonant-tunneling through a quantum well, and are near-ballistically transferred to a collector. The main feature of this device is a peaked collector-current characteristic with respect to the base-emitter voltage. This enables us to build a frequency multiplier or an Exclusive-NOR gate using only one transistor.
