Abstract
We have demonstrated the localized formation of a two‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) using focused Si ion beam implantation (100 keV) into undoped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. We found that to achieve a good‐quality 2DEG without also forming a 3DEG it is essential to use a double instead of a single interface heterostructure. The low‐temperature mobility of the 2DEG was as high as 1.0×104 cm2/V s at a carrier concentration of 1×1012 cm−2. This 2DEG mobility in the double heterostructure was a factor of 3 larger than the 2DEG mobility in the single heterostructures.Keywords
