Abstract

A field effect transistor with improved operation speed and reduced noise includes a drain electrode disposed on a channel layer with a contact layer interposed therebetween, a source electrode, and a gate electrode disposed between the drain and source electrodes. A resonant tunneling diode is disposed between the source electrode and the channel region for supplying hot electrons to the channel layer beneath the gate electrode.
