Abstract
This paper discusses the question of how the size of the spacer layers affects the position and width of the bistability region in the curre nt-voltage characteristics of tunnel resonance diodes. The current-vol tage characteristics were calculated in terms of the self-consistent e ffective-mass approximation. increasing the size of the spacer layers shifts the lower boundary of the bistability region upwards so that th is region becomes narrower and then completely disappears.
