摘要
The velocity-field characteristics of holes in strained p-modulation doped InxGa1-xAs quantum wells (x=0.17 and 0.13), grown on GaAs have been measured at 77 K. Two samples at each indium fraction were studied with different doping concentrations. Saturation is almost complete at a field of 4 kV cm-1, with drift velocities of around 4.9*10 6 cm s-1 for the low doped samples and 3.3*10 6 cm s-1 for the high doped. The latter are likely to be typical of structures used for p-type field-effect transistors (FETS). The authors believe that the performance of such devices will be limited by this very low saturation velocity.
