Abstract
It was shown that in the region of direct current with Uf>;qφb there is the negative resistance part at static VAC of rectifying metal-semiconductor junctions. Theoretical calculation reveals that negative resistance on the direct brunch of VAC is caused by potential step in order to transfer ballistic electrons through a thin base (~0.1 um) of the diode. Analysis of transferring time τT(E) and reflecting time τR(E) makes it possible to calculate estimating frequency band <; 1 THz.
