Abstract

We demonstrate hole accumulation in unintentionally doped (In)GaSb/AlSb quantum wells, using an InAs surface as a cap layer. From the hole concentrations in quantum wells, the energy difference between the conduction band edge of InAs and the valence band edge of GaSb is estimated. Relatively high two-dimensional hole mobilities of 650 and 7000 cm2/V · s are obtained from Hall measurements at 300 and 77 K. For a strained InGaSb/AlSb quantum well, mobility enhancement is observed.
