Abstract:

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of 3C-SiC(n,p)/6H-SiC(n) and 3C-SiC(p)/15R-SiC(n) heterostructures have been studied. A broad structureless band, absent in PL spectra of n–n heterostructures, was observed in the spectrum of p–n heterostructures in the energy range 2.2–2.4 eV. It is suggested that this band is due to the presence of a 2D electron gas in a quantum well near the heterointerface. High (~ 4000 cm2/s V) value of electron mobility and the absence of any significant fall in the mobility temperature dependence at liquid-nitrogen temperatures confirm the existence of a 2DEG in the QW at the heterointerface.
