In this work, hole confinement in a MBE-grown Si/GeSi/Si quantum well
on SIMOX substrate is investigated in detail using device simulation,
electronic measurements, and optical techniques. The hole confinement
is clearly demonstrated from GeSi PMOSFET measurements. The experiment
al results are in good agreement with device simulation results. The q
uantum confinement of holes in the GeSi quantum well on SIMOX is confi
rmed using photoluminescence measurements.
