This work presents a non-perturbative quantum field theoretic computation of spinor tunnelling through a potential barrier. Within position space potential formalism, we identify coupled recursion relations forming a self-consistent integral equation. Our method, enabling both analytical and numerical approaches, transforms into a formalism admitting both numerical framework for arbitrary potentials and analytical exact results for select barriers. For the rectangular barrier, the QFT-derived amplitudes reproduce the relativistic quantum mechanical (RQM) results, thus establishing a foundation for future calculation of beyond-RQM field-theoretic corrections.
