Abstract

Recently the structures consisting of the combinations of InAs and GaSb and/or AlSb have attracted much attention for their potential application in'high frequency and high speed devices. The resonant interband tunneling (RIT) structures [l] and the optoelectronic devices based on the Type TI tunnel heterostructures [Z] were reported. The intresting point in the InAs/AlSb/GaSb structures is the peculiar band lineup of the system: The eonduction band of InAs is energetically lower than the valence band of GaSb, whereas the bandgap of-AlSb covers the GaSb bandgap and most of the InAs bandgap region. Due to the coupling effects between the conduction band and light-hole band, the-transport' mechanisms in the InAslAlSblGaSb system are quite complicated compared with the conventional Type I GaAdAlGaAs systems.
