- the electron supply layer doped layer
- electrons supplied from the n-type impurity in the electron supply layer accumulate in a potential well formed on the channel side of the interface of the hetero junction due to the difference in electron affinity of the material constituting the hetero junction. A two-dimensional electron gas is formed.
- the n-type impurity for supplying electrons is in the electron supply layer, and the electrons supplied from the n-type impurity travel in a high-purity channel to spatially separate the ionized impurities and electrons.

- MOCVD is a method of growing crystals by thermally decomposing on the substrate using organometallic compounds or hydrides of atomic species that constitute the epitaxy layer as a raw material. Therefore, it is widely used industrially in recent years because it has a wide range of applicable substances and is suitable not only for precise control of crystal composition and film thickness, but also for processing large quantities of substrates with good controllability. It has become.

- GaAs and A1GaAs are widely used, it is necessary to increase the electron mobility of the channel layer in order to improve the performance of HEMTs. Therefore, recently, not only is it excellent in electron transport characteristics, but also the energy gap can be changed drastically according to the In composition, and two-dimensional electrons can be effectively confined.
- Group 3-5 compound to be used InGaAs is used as a channel layer material instead of GaAs because it has a very good quality as a semiconductor material.
- a 1 Ga As or Ga As is known as a material to be combined with InGaAs.
- a HEMT using an InGaAs layer as a channel layer through which two-dimensional electrons flow is called a strain channel high electron mobility transistor (pseudomodrphic-HEMT, hereafter referred to as p-HEMT).
- the limit value of the thickness of the strained crystal layer in such a lattice mismatched system is given as a function of the composition of the strained crystal layer.
- the theoretical formulas of Matthews' disclosed in Crystal Growth, 32 (1974) p. 265 are known, and these theoretical formulas are found to be generally correct experimentally.

However, it has been difficult to achieve electron mobility beyond that.

Only the point that the film thickness of 23 A is 7 nm is different from the layer structure of Example 2 shown in FIG. Therefore, among the layers in FIG. 6, those corresponding to the layers in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a detailed description of those layers will not be repeated.
- the PL spectrum at 77 was measured.

- the electron mobility at room temperature (300 K) can be increased by 8300 cm 2 ZV by increasing the In-fiber composition of the channel layer and increasing the PL emission wavelength from the InGaAs layer of the channel layer to 103 Onm or more. ⁇ It was confirmed that it could be s or more.
- the GaAs layer stacked on and under the InGaAs channel layer By increasing the thickness of the GaAs layer stacked on and under the InGaAs channel layer, the unevenness of the interface between the InGaAs layer and the AlGaAs layer is reduced, It is considered that the electron mobility is prevented from lowering due to scattering. At the same time, it is thought that it has the effect of suppressing three-dimensional growth due to segregation of In on the surface of the InGaAs layer, and also suppressing scattering on the interface. Furthermore, when a low-dislocation GaAs single crystal substrate with a VGF substrate or a VB substrate is used, the critical thickness of the InGaAs layer becomes larger, which causes lattice mismatch with the GaAs layer. This is effective in suppressing the occurrence of dislocation defects and increasing the film thickness while maintaining good crystal characteristics of the InGaAs layer.
- the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum of the channel layer depends on the In composition of the channel layer and the thickness of the channel layer. As the In composition increases, the band gap decreases and the peak wavelength shifts to longer wavelengths. Also, as the channel layer thickness increases, the energy of the excitation level decreases, and the peak wavelength also shifts to longer wavelengths. Therefore, the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum can be used as an evaluation means for simultaneously optimizing the In composition and the film thickness of the channel layer.
