We present the concept and the results of pilot measurements of tunneling in a system Al/ δ Si ‐GaAs under pressure up to 2GPa at 4.2 K. The obtained results may indicate the following: the barrier height for Al/ δ ‐GaAs equals to 0.86 eV at P = 0 and its pressure coefficient is 30 meV/GPa; charged impurity density in the delta‐layer starts to drop from 4.5 × 10 12 cm –2 down to 3.8 × 10 12 cm –2 at about 1.5 GPa; metal–insulator transition may occur in 2 DEG at about 2 GPa.
