Abstract We analyse a little known aspect of the Klein paradox. A Klein–Gordon boson appears to be able to cross a supercritical rectangular barrier without being reflected, while spending there a negative amount of time. The transmission mechanism is demonstrably acausal, yet an attempt to construct the corresponding causal solution of the Klein–Gordon equation fails. We relate the causal solution to a divergent multiple-reflections series, and show that the problem is remedied for a smooth barrier, where pair production at the energy equal to a half of the barrier’s height is enhanced yet remains finite.

We solve the one-dimensional time-independent Klein–Gordon equation in the presence of a smooth potential well. The bound state solutions are given in terms of the Whittaker [Formula: see text] function, and the antiparticle bound state is discussed in terms of potential parameters.
