Modulation doping is a technique for fabricating semiconductors such that the free charge carriers are spatially separated from the donors. Because this eliminates scattering from the donors, modulation-doped semiconductors have very high carrier mobilities.

History

Modulation doping was conceived in Bell Labs in 1977 following a conversation between Horst Störmer and Ray Dingle,[1] and implemented shortly afterwards by Arthur Gossard. In 1977, Störmer and Dan Tsui used a modulation-doped wafer to discover the fractional quantum Hall effect.

Implementation

Modulation-doped semiconductor crystals are commonly grown by epitaxy to allow successive layers of different semiconductor species to be deposited. One common structure uses a layer of AlGaAs deposited over GaAs, with Si n-type donors in the AlGaAs.[2]

Applications

Field effect transistors

Modulation-doped transistors can reach high electrical mobilities and therefore fast operation.[3] A modulation-doped field-effect transistor is known as a MODFET.[4]

Low-temperature electronics

One advantage of modulation doping is that the charge carriers cannot become trapped on the donors even at the lowest temperatures. For this reason, modulation-doped heterostructures allow electronics operating at cryogenic temperatures.

Quantum computing

Modulation-doped two-dimensional electron gases can be gated to create quantum dots. Electrons trapped in these dots can then be operated as quantum bits.[5]
