Abstract

In this paper the confinement of carriers in a MOS-gated GexSi1-x heterostructure is numerically modeled and experimentally confirmed. The structure uses a MOS gate to modulate the hole density at a buried Si/GexSi1-x interface. Numerical modeling is used to predict the maximum number of carriers achievable at the interface as a function of the structural design, and clear experimental evidence for such carrier confinement is given.
