Abstract

We report on a novel 200 nm wide GaAs/GaAlAs quantum well, which can contain either electrons or holes. The structure has a p-doped layer above the quantum well, and a superlattice (AlAs/GaAs) barrier below shielding the quantum well from the highly n-doped 311A GaAs substrate, which acts as a back-gate. p-Hall bars are fabricated with ohmic Au/Zn p-contacts, and n-Hall bars are fabricated by etching away the p-doped top layer and applying ohmic Au/Ge/Ni contacts. There is an overlapping region of the back-gate voltage where a two dimensional electron gas is induced in the n-Hall bars and a two dimensional hole gas still exists in the p-Hall bars. This unique system allows for devices, where coupling between high quality electron and hole gases is controlled by the back-gate.
