Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the temperature dependence of Current-Voltage measurements of GaAs /AlGaAs multi-quantum well. Our sample, which consists of inclined layers between the 10 periods GaAs /Al_0.25 Ga_0.75 As quantum wells and n^+-GaAs contact layers in the central region, was grown by the Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy technique. We have found that tunneling current is effective at low temperatures (<85 K) and high voltages as well as thermal current at high temperatures (> 125 K) and low voltages. In addition, in the intermediate temperature region (65 K

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, GaAs /AlGaAs çoklu kuantum kuyusunun Akım-Voltaj ölçümlerinin sıcaklığa bağlılığını inceledik. Merkez bölgesinde 10 adet GaAs /Al_0.25 Ga_0.75 As kuantum kuyusu ile n^+-GaAs kontak tabakaları arasında eğimli tabakalardan oluşan örneğimiz, Metal Organik Buhar Fazlı Epitaksi tekniği ile büyütülmüştür. Tünelleme akımının düşük sıcaklıklarda (<85 K) ve yüksek voltajlarda, termal akımın ise yüksek sıcaklıklarda (>125 K) ve düşük voltajlarda etkili olduğu gözlemlendi. Ayrıca, ara sıcaklık bölgesinde (65 K
