Due to the development of order-N2 method to calculate transport properties of layered structure, it is now feasible to discuss the linear and non-linear conductivity of various heterostructures composed of either semiconductors and metals. In this talk, I review the recent development in the theoretical framework and show several results representing the efforts to simulate real device structures.
