Experimental investigation of hot electron and related effects in gallium(aluminum)arsenide devices

Abstract

dc:description

The advance of crystal growth technology, specifically metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) as it relates to this work, has made it practical to manufacture an entirely new class of heterojunction devices. Physical properties of semiconductor heterojunction devices such as resonant tunneling and ballistic transport and various hot electron effects discussed within, have been moved from the status of academic curiosity to physically realizable, useful effects.
