High temperature ballistic transport observed in AIGaAs/lnGaAs/GaAs small four-terminal structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four-terminal structures are fabricated by focused-ion-beam (FIB) scanning on an AlGaAs/ InGaAs/GaAs modulation doped structure. The large carrier density of this system results in small depletion spreading and a 260-nm-square four-terminal structure is successfully formed. The bend resistance of this structure indicates that ballistic coupling between two facing terminals remains up to room temperature. Thermal broadening of electron energy enhances the ballistic nature of the system at high temperature.

lntersubband transitions in pseudomorphic lnGaAs/GaAs/ AIGaAs multiple step quantum wells
Intersubband transitions from the ground state to the first and second excited states in pseudomorphic AlGaAs/lnGaAs/GaAs/ AlGaAs multiple step quantum wells have been observed. The step well structure has a configuration of two A1GaAs barriers confining an InGaAs/GaAs step. Multiple step wells were grown on GaAs substrate with each InGaAs layer compressively strained. During the growth, a unif...
متن کاملTHERMIONIC-FIELD EMISSION IN AIGaAs/GaAs 1WO-DIMENSIONAL ELECTRON GAS CHARGE-COUPLED DEVICES
Dark current in AIGaAs/GaAs two-dimensional electron gas charge-coupled devices (2DEG CCDs) is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Measurement of the dark current for temperatures in the range 160 K to 360 K was performed and compared with the results of numerical modelling. It is found that thermionic-field emission of electrons from the gate to the channel is the dominant mech...

The electrical activation characteristics of implanted Be, Mg, Si, and S in Alx Gal _ xAs (x = 0-1) were investigated as a function of ion dose for rapid annealing in the range 600950"C. The apparent activation energy for electrical activity of these species increases with increasing AlAs mole fraction-for Be, the activation energy is 0.35 eV for GaAs, and 0.49 eV for Alo.54 GaO.<l6 As.

We have demonstrated a P-n-P Ga&JInGaAsN/GaAs double heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT). The device has a low turn-on voltage (Vo~) that is 0.27 V lower than in a comparable P-n-p AIGaAs/GaAs HBT. The device shows nearide.al DC characteristics with a curfent gain (~) greater than 45. The high-speed performance of the device are comparable to a similar P-n-p AIGaAs/GaAs HBT, with ~~ and ~M...
متن کاملExperimental Evidence of Non-Diffusive Thermal Transport in Si and GaAs
The length-scales at which thermal transport crosses from the diffusive to ballistic regime are of much interest particularly in the design and improvement of nano-structured materials. In this work, we demonstrate that the departure from diffusive transport has been observed in Si and GaAs using an optical transient thermal grating technique where an arbitrary, experimentally set length scale ...
