Abstract
The resonant tunnelling effect was studied for Si/SiO2 double barrier structures fabricated from a bonded silicon-on-insulator wafer with an ultrathin buried SiO2 layer. As a result, in Si/SiO2 systems, we observed, for the first time, negative differential conductance due to resonant tunnelling of electrons
