Semiconductor devices

quantum tunneling of electrons directly from the valence band to the conduction band across a thin, high-field junction.

In semiconductor devices, band-to-band tunneling refers to quantum tunneling of electrons directly from the valence band to the conduction band across a thin, high-field junction. This meaning comes from Kane (1960) in Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids.[1]
