The lineshape of the tunneling conductance in double quantum wells with a large-scale roughness of heterointerfaces is investigated. Large-scale variations of coupled energy levels and scattering due to the short-range potential are taken into account. The interplay between the inhomogeneous broadening, induced by the non-screened part of large-scale potential, and the homogeneous broadening due to the scattering by short-range potentials is considered. It is shown that the large inhomogeneous broadening can be strongly modified by nonlocal effects involved in the proposed mechanism of inhomogeneity. Related change of lineshape of the resonant tunneling conductance between Gaussian and Lorentzian peaks is described. The theoretical results agree quite well with experimental data.
