Resumen de Semiconductor Quantum Nanostructures, Multiple Quantum Wells, and Superlattices
Raúl José Martín Palma, José Manuel Martínez Duart
In this chapter we will discuss the fundamental properties of metal–oxide–semiconductor junctions and heterojunctions, together with a series of advanced nanostructures formed by one or several heterojunctions: modulation-doped quantum wells, multiple quantum wells, and superlattices. All of these constitute the building blocks of advanced micro- and optoelectronic devices. Their unique properties are very appealing for the development of several advanced semiconductor devices, including resonant tunneling diodes, optical modulators, cascade lasers, tunable light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors, which will be reviewed in Chapters 9 and 10.
