Growth, Characterization and Application of Aluminum-Gallium - Arsenide/gallium-Arsenide Modulation Doped Heterostructures

Abstract

dc:description

Modulation doped heterostructures show great potential for being the basis of a new family of high speed electronic devices, including photodetectors, charge-coupled devices and field effect transistors. This has motivated an extensive study of the growth and physical properties of Al(,x)Ga(,1-x)As/GaAs heterostructures. Molecular beam epitaxy is the preferred crystal growth technology for this structure because of the ease with which high quality epitaxial layers and abrupt compositional and doping profiles may be obtained.
