5. A Test Case for NanoTCAD: Resonant Tunneling Structures

In this chapter we discuss a device structure whose working principle is based on quantum mechanics: the resonant tunneling diode. We summarize basic facts of the fundamental physics of resonant tunneling diodes. Our review is based on material from the recent monograph [MT95].
