Electron effective masses in an InGaAs quantum well with InAs and GaAs inserts

Abstract: We have measured and calculated effective masses m * and the band structure of the In 0.52 Al 0.48 As/In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As/In 0.52 Al 0.48 As quantum well on the InP substrate with one or two InAs inserts in the quantum well and GaAs inserts in heterointerface barriers. The effective mass m * was measured by the Shubnikov-de Haas effect. Double symmetric InAs inserts in a quantum well lead to decreasing of m * by about 10%-35% as compared with the uniform In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As lattice-matched quantum well.

“…InGaAs was considered for use as the n-type high-mobility channel material because it has higher electron mobility and smaller electron effective mass than that of silicon [1][2][3]. The complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) structure can be realized by integrating III-V n-MOSFETs and Ge p-MOSFETs on a Si CMOS platform [4][5][6].…”

“…At present, semiconductor heterocompounds are regarded as a functional basis for creating micro-and nanoelectronic devices with improved frequency characteristics, in particular, high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) [1][2][3] and monolithic integrated circuits of microwave and millimeter-wave low-noise amplifiers. Moreover, such heterostructures may be promising in manufacturing p-i-n photodiodes and for spintronics equipment and optoelectronic applications.…”

“…In order to improve μ e one should vary the design of the heterostructure, in particular the QW and the barrier layer. One of the approaches is the introduction of additional InAs and/or GaAs layers that lead to decreasing of electron effective mass in the QW but enhance scattering on the interface roughness [4]. Previously it was shown that AlGaAs/InGaAs heterostructures with the QW containing AlAs inserts that serve as the barriers for optical phonons may reduce the scattering rate up to 5-6 times in comparison with the QW without these inserts and increase electron mobility as a consequence [5,6].…”
