“…12a and b). Metallographic and microprobe anlaysis were also used by Daleand Josh [38] to establish the nature and composition of Mn&-GaAs heterojunctions and Mn&s-Ga,Inl -.As-GaAs structures grown from Bi-In As-Mn alloys. However, in the former case evidence suggests that this is not a true heterojunction since optical transmission experiments by Wright and Tansley [79] have shown that the energy-gap of bulk Mnds was substantially less than the value of 0.1 eV corresponding to the limit of detection of the experiment.…”
Section: The Solution Grown Heterojunctionmentioning
“…Thanks to the remarkable development of semiconductor technology, it has become possible to fabricate a wide variety of heterojunctions. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Since a lattice mismatch exists between the materials in most heterojunctions, defects such as dislocations are unavoidably present at the interface. Those kinds of lattice defects at the interface usually behave like deep states.…”
We investigated the transport properties of an n-InAs/n-GaAs heterojunction, where misfit dislocations are confined at the hetero-interface by forming a misfit dislocation network. The electric current I across the interface from n-InAs to n-GaAs was measured as a function of applied voltage V
a. I is strongly suppressed at up to V
a ∼ 1.0 V which is larger than the intrinsic conduction band offset between InAs and GaAs.I increases exponentially at low and high V
a (=0.0–0.5 and 1.0–1.2 V), while the increase of I is relatively moderate at intermediate voltage V
a (=0.5–1.0 V). We theoretically evaluated the I–V
a
characteristics of the n-InAs/n-GaAs heterojunction by using the thermionic-field emission model and examined the effects of the interface states due to the misfit dislocations. The comparison of the calculated results with the experimental data indicates the existence of acceptor-like interface states in the band gap of GaAs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
