Abstract

We report the lowest electron density (4.9×1010 cm -2 and 1.1×1011 cm-2) and high mobility (∼400,000 cm2/Vs and ∼200,000 cm2/Vs) of undoped enhancement-mode Si/SiGe two-dimensional electron gases comparing to samples previously reported with similar thin SiGe cap thickness (55nm and 27nm). The dominant scattering mechanism over a wide range of two-dimensional electron density in both samples is the scattering from remote charges at oxide/silicon interface. In addition, a clear metal-insulator transition is observed in the sample with a 27-nm SiGe cap.
