摘要: We report the development of a simple and reliable, front-sided-only fabrication technique for n-type ohmic contacts to two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in undoped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. have adapted well-established recessed contacts/insulated metal gate inducing 2DEG an triangular well also work reliably square Our adaptation involves change procedure etching contact pits optimise etch side-wall profile depth. As application our technique, we present front-side-gated ambipolar field effect transistor (FET), where both 2D hole can be induced same well. results low-temperature (0.3 K - 4 K) transport measurements this device, including assessment quality. On basis findings, discuss why these is difficult how circumvents challenges.
