Abstract
In this paper a semiconductor double barrier-quantum well-superconduct or (DBQS) junction is proposed and the I-V characteristics was obtaine d by employing a generalized Giaever formula and Andreev reflection me thod. The result shows that the I-V curve of DBQS junction exhibits ne gative differential resistance. It is suggested that this effect can b e used to fabricate a new electronic device.
