Molecular beam epitaxy of pseudomorphic silicon/carbon superlattices on silicon substrates
We describe the molecular beam epitaxy growth of superlattices where silicon layers with a thickness between 3 and 10 nm alternate with very thin carbon layers. High resolution x-ray diffraction revea...

High-performance camel-gate field effect transistor using high-medium-low doped structure
We report an improved camel-gate field effect transistor using a high-medium-low doped channel. A 1000-Å-thick n=1 × 1017 cm – 3 GaAs layer is employed to form the camel gate, which p...

We have calculated the effect of alloy interdiffusion on the one-dimensional energy confinement of (Al,Ga)As/GaAs crescent shaped quantum wire structures. We show that the energy splitting between excited states may be greatly enhanced by the interdiffusion mechanism. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
