摘要: We report the first observation of modulation doping effect in Si/Ge0.2Si0.8 heterojunctions grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Peak hole mobilities ∼3300 cm2 V−1 s−1 have been observed at 4.2 K. These values, although nonoptimum, are comparable to best reported values for holes Si/SiO2 inversion layers. Low temperature, angular dependent, Shubnikov–de Haas measurements demonstrated two‐dimensional nature gas and yield a surface carrier density 3.5×1011 cm−2. From temperature dependence amplitudes effective mass 0.30±0.02mo has derived. Identical on n‐type having same Ge content (x=0.2) failed show sustained enhancement mobility low temperatures, indicating that ΔEv≫ΔEc.
