Few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit subbands in both the valence and conduction bands due to quantum confinement in the out-of-plane direction. Therefore, they can be considered as naturally formed quantum wells. In this study, we fabricated a van der Waals double quantum well device using few-layer TMDs and h-BN. Resonant tunneling between subbands occurs in this device, resulting in current peaks with significant negative differential resistance in the current-voltage characteristics. In this presentation, we also report our latest results including triple quantum well devices.
