✦ Synopsis

The phase time of an electron tunneling through a heterostructure potential barrier is derived, including the position-dependent effective-mass effect. The usual phase time of the tunneling derived assuming a homogeneous effective mass deviates from this result by (-15 % \sim-28 %).

Tunneling time and post-tunneling position of an electron incident on a heterostructure grown on anisotropic materials are derived by solving an effective mass equation including off-diagonal effective mass tensor elements. The effects of different effective masses for a heterostructure junction are
