✦ Synopsis

Theoretical and experimental study of novel resonant tunneling structure laterally conÿned by a periodically modulated electric ÿeld are presented. Spatial potential distribution is created by a system of interlocked ÿnger contacts. It is shown that the conÿnement in the system and the resonant conditions are determined by changes in the spatial potential distribution at a certain ÿnger voltage. Applications of the device in a new kind of electronic and optoelectronic switchers are discussed.
