A quantum-dot resonant-tunneling device apparatus is provided. The quantum-dot resonant-tunneling device apparatus includes a pair of top-and-down N-type electron injection layers and a pair of quantum-dot layers sandwiched with at least a period of double-barrier. The pair of top-and-down N-type electron injection layers is provided with an adequate positive or negative electric field which leads to electronic resonant-tunneling transportation in the quantum-dot layers mentioned above. In addition, once the electrons are tunneling transported in the device, the device serves as a negative resistance device. The device does not only provide bipolar negative resistance capability and a superior temperature stability within a very wide temperature range, but also operates well under room temperature.
