摘要
We have used a novel, simple technique based on bevel etching, to fabricate samples containing lateral n-i-p junctions in an InSb/InAlSb quantum well. The structure was designed by self-consistent solution of Schrodinger's and Poisson's equations, and grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a SI GaAs substrate. Current/voltage characteristics were measured as a function of temperature between 10 and 80 K, and rectifying characteristics were obtained over the whole temperature range.
