Abstract

Modulation-doped SiGe structures containing a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a strained Si channel have been examined by far infrared (FIR), electron beam induced current (EBIC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). An apparent correlation between lateral confinement effects and inhomogeneities in the material beneath the Schottky barrier has been identified. These effects are not due to defects nucleating in the Si channel, but rather, may be associated with the defect structure in the underlying relaxed graded-composition buffer layer.
