Heterojunction semiconductor devices having a doping interface dipole
First Claim
1. A heterojunction device comprising at least a first region of a first semiconductor material and at least a second region of a second semiconductor material, said first and said second regions having a first heterojunction interface, and a first interface dipole, said dipole comprising a first charge sheet and a second charge sheet, said first and second charge sheets being spatially separated from each other and comprising ionized donors and acceptors, respectively, at least one of said charge sheets being a heavily doped region, said charge sheets being within the lesser of a carrier mean free path or a thermal de Broglie wavelength of said interface.
