K. Nishi et al., Method for evaluating the interface of semiconductor heterojunctions usinga free electron laser, JPN J A P 1, 37(12B), 1998, pp. 7038-7041
The method for evaluating the interface of semiconductor heterofunctions us
ing the free electron laser internal photoemission (FEL-IPE) technique is p
resented. The nature of the interface in semiconductor heterojunctions play
s an important role for determining the behavior and performances of an ent
ire class of nanosemiconductor devices, It is indicated that the measuremen
t using FEL-IPE makes it possible to determine the band discontinuities of
semiconductor heterojunctions more precisely.
