Notes:
We report on the observation of a novel effect in resonant tunneling devices (RTD): a self-induced persistent photoconductivity (SIPPC). The SIPPC manifests itself as a permanent shift of the resonant peak position to lower voltages, which is induced by the RTD itself and not by external sources. The SIPPC is due to the presence of DX centers in the device, which are ionized by light generated in the device itself through the recombination of electron-hole pairs created by impact ionization of hot electrons in the depletion layer of the device. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
