    Abstract

    Fifty years after tunnelling through semiconductor heterojunctions was originally investigated, the present authors are the first to demonstrate the required reproducibility, in wafer, between wafers in a given growth run, and from run to run, of the electrical properties required for manufacturing a microwave and millimetre-wave detector based on electron tunnelling through a thin semiconductor tunnel barrier layer. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2013.
