Electron transport in InAs/AlGaSb ballistic rectifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonlinear transport properties of a ballistic rectifier fabricated from InAs/AlGaSb heterostructures are reported. The operation of the ballistic rectifier is based on the guidance of carriers by a square anti-dot structure. The structure was defined by electron beam lithography and wet chemical etching. The DC characteristics and magneto-transport properties of the ballistic rectifier have been measured at 77 K and 4.2 K. Rectification effects relying on the ballistic transport were observed. From the four-terminal resistance measured at low magnetic fields, we also observed magneto-resistance fluctuations corresponding to the electron trajectories and symmetry-breaking electron scattering, which are influenced by the magnetic field strength.

Heterostructures for InAs-channel high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) were investigated. Reactive AlSb buffer and barrier layers were replaced by more stable Al0.7Ga0.3Sb and In0.2Al0.8Sb alloys. The distance between the gate and the channel was reduced to 7–13 nm to allow good aspect ratios for very short gate lengths. In addition, n-InAs caps were successfully deposited on the In0.2Al0...

Ballistic transport of electrons at room temperature in top-gated InAs nanowire (NW) transistors is experimentally observed and theoretically examined. From length dependent studies, the low-field mean free path is directly extracted as ~150 nm. The mean free path is found to be independent of temperature due to the dominant role of surface roughness scattering. The mean free path was also theo...
