We study single electron tunnelling from the barrier in the binary InAs/GaAs quantum structure including quantum well (QW) and quantum dot (QD). The tunneling is described in the terms of localized/delocalized states and their spectral distribution. The modeling is performed by using the phenomenological effective potential approach for InAs/GaAs heterostructures. The results for the two and three-dimensional models are presented. We focus on the effect of QD-QW geometry variations. The relation to the PL experiments is shown.
