Abstract
For describing near band edge states of intrinsic (subbands) and extrinsic (impurity states) character in semiconductor structures effective-mass theory is as important as in bulk semiconductors. We 1) reconsider the concept of effective-mass theory in this context, 2) demonstrate, how in a self-consistent calculation of subband states in modulation doped heterostructures the implications of the bulk band structure and doping profiles are considered, and 3) suggest a new concept for treating the impurity problem.
