Disorder of an AlAs‐GaAs superlattice by impurity diffusion
Abstract: Data are presented showing that Zn diffusion into an AlAs‐GaAs superlattice (41 Lz∼45‐A GaAs layers, 40 LB∼150‐A AlAs layers), or into AlxGa1−xAs‐GaAs quantum‐well heterostructures, increases the Al‐Ga interdiffusion at the heterointerfaces and creates, even at low temperature (<600 °C), uniform compositionally disordered AlxGa1−xAs. For the case of the superlattice, the diffusion‐induced disordering causes a change from direct‐gap AlAs‐GaAs (Eg∼1.61 eV) to indirect‐gap AlxGa1−xAs (x∼0.77, EgX∼2.08 eV).
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of hot electron degradation in metal oxide semiconductor transistors by deuterium processing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report experimental results that replacing hydrogen with deuterium during the final wafer sintering process greatly reduces hot electron degradation effects in metal oxide semiconductor transistors due to a new giant isotope effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory for a quantum modulated transistor
TL;DR: In this article, the electron transmission through a semiconductor quantum wire can be controlled by an external gate voltage that modifies the penetration of the electron wavefunction in a lateral stub, affecting in this way its interference pattern.
