A SUPERLATTICE TYPE SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE HAVING A HIGH CARRIER DENSITY

摘要

The superlattice type semiconductor material has a multilayered structure of first layers of semiconductor containing impurities and having a thickness thinner than electron or hole wavelength and second layers of semiconductor free from impurities or insulator having such a thickness that electrons or holes may penetrate by tunneling effect, the first and second layers being alternately piled. Electrons or holes distribute uniformly over the entire of the multilayered structure to show a property of uniform semiconductor material.
