Abstract
AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure FETs with InAs quantum dots in an AlGaAs barrier layer have been fabricated. I/sub DS/-V/sub G/ characteristics have shown hysteresis which corresponds to the memory operation. The retention time was more than 60 minutes at 100 K. The behavior of the HFET memory was discussed based on the electron and hole storage in the InAs QDs.
