The Boltzmann-Langevin equation is used to relate the shot-noise power of a mesoscopic conductor to classical transmission probabilities at the Fermi level. This semiclassical theory is applied to tunneling through n barriers in series. For n\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty} the shot noise approaches one-third of the Poisson noise, independent of the transparency of the barriers. This confirms that the one-third suppression known to occur in diffusive conductors does not require phase…
