Abstract

Results are presented concerning direct comparison of admittance spectroscopy and DLTS on p-Si/Si1-xGex/Si quantum well (QW) structures with x = 0.17 using n+p mesa diodes with buried QW layer. The temperature dependence of potential barriers at the QW and of the Fermi level determine the activation energy Ea of the conductance across the QW. From Ea a band offset of ΔEv = 0.16 eV was estimated. DLTS data suggest that hole emission from QW was observed with activation energy in correspondence with ΔEv.
