  • Abstract
    An electron wave interference device (wash board transistor), consisting of a modulation-doped Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs heterostructure and a 16 nm (AlAs)0.25(GaAs)0.75 vertical superlattice is fabricated. This transistor shows drain current oscillation due to electron wave interference at 4.2 K at large biasing currents. The (AlAs)0.25(GaAs)0.75 vertical superlattice improved the biasing current by about 105 times compared to the previous wash board transistor with a 500 nm tungsten grating gate.
