Abstract

AlGaAs/GaAs modulation-doped structures with low-temperature electron mobility exceeding 107 cm2/Vs at a carrier concentration of 2.5 - 3 x 1011 cm-2 are grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Electron mobility above 8 x 106 cm2/Vs is reproducibly obtained over more than 6 months by careful baking of the growth system and optimization of the layer structure. Voltage-current measurements showing nonlinear and negative resistance characteristics at low temperatures indicate that the ballistic motion of electrons dominates the transport characteristics of these samples.
