Vertical Electronic Transport in Semiconductor Nanostructures

  • Conference paper
Physics and Technology of Submicron Structures

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 83))

Abstract

he investigation of vertical electronic transport in semiconductor heterojunction systems has recently undergone a renaissance due to improved epitaxial techniques in a number of material systems. Presented in this paper are investigations into a number of novel vertical transport systems. Recent advanced in microfabrication techniques have allowed the realization of structures where lateral dimensions approach those achievable with epitaxial technology. Results of transport through structures with reduced dimensionality will be presented.
