Abstract: We propose a theory of 1D quantum tunneling with inelastic interaction via a Green's function technique. The perturbed electron wave function by the lattice interaction is expressed in terms of the unperturbed retarded Green's function. The unperturbed retarded Green's function in whole real space is constructed for a non-uniform potential by an S matrix method and the boundary condition of Green's function, which makes any order of perturbation calculation possible. An application to electron tunneling through a double barrier with optical-phonon deformation interaction is calculated to second order of electron wave function. The feed-back mechanism is included which guarantees the current conservation. Our method can be generalized to the 3D case.
