Abstract

Three types of structures were fabricated using molecular beam epitaxy. High-resolution x-ray diffraction measurements demonstrated the high structural quality of InSb/AlxIn1−xSb superlattices grown on InSb and GaAs substrates. Hall effect data revealed the effect of substrate temperature on autocompensation in InSb δ-doped with Si. Two-dimensional electron systems with a high mobility were realized in InSb quantum wells with AlxIn1−xSb barriers δ-doped with Si.
