Abstract

Electronic properties of the n-doping--insulator--p-doping--insulator structures in ultra thin strained [001] Si - Ge superlattice have been studied theoretically. The Ge - layer is used as one of the insulating region. The Al and As atoms are treated as impurities. The superlattice ((Si)10 -(Ge)2) exhibits an indirect gap in reciprocal space and the staggered band alignment in real space. With doping, the samples show a direct band gap and staggered band alignment. The acceptor state is associated with the Al-Si bonding state, while the donor state is derived from the As s-like state. The separation of the charge carriers in the real space can be obtained.
