摘要：

Theoretical calculations of shot noise are carried out on a double-barrier, one-well structure. The results show that the noise power is a function of the energy bandwidth of the transmitted electrons and that the shot noise may be significantly reduced by the quantum wells. These results can be applied to heterojunction bipolar transistors which contain a quantum well, and it is shown that these resonant tunneling heterojunction bipolar transistors (RTHBT's) should have a lower noise figure than homojunction transistors.
