Selectively doped n + InP/n GaInAs heterostructure prepared using chloride transport vapour-phase epitaxy

Abstract
A field-effect transistor with a 2 μm Au gate was fabricated on a selectively doped InP/GaInAs heterostructure grown using chloride transport vapour-phase epitaxy. Complete pinch-off was observed, and transconductance of 90 and 160 mS/mm were measured at 295 and 77 K, respectively. From analysis of the drain I/V characteristic, two-dimensional electron gas at the interface was revealed to be the dominant factor for the channel current. This is the first report of a successful preparation of an n+ InP/n GaInAs heterostructure for the selectively doped field-effect transistor.
