Summary
[edit]DescriptionBand Alignment at a Type I Heterojunction.png |
English: In this heterojunction of type I alignment, one can clearly see the built-in potential Φbi = Φ(A) + Φ(B). The band gap difference ΔEg = Eg(A) - Eg(B) is distributed between the two discontinuities,ΔEv, and ΔEc$. In alignments, it is generally the case that the conduction band which has the higher energy minimum will bend upward, whilst the valence band which has the lower energy maximum will bend upward. In this type of alignment, this means that both of the bands of semiconductor A will bend upwards, whilst both of the bands of semiconductor B will bend downwards. The band bending, caused by the built-in potential, is determined by the interface position of the Fermi level, and predicting or measuring this level is related to the Schottky barrier height in metal-semiconductor interfaces. Depending on the doping of the bulk material, the band bending can be into the thousands of angstroms, or just fifty, depending on the doping. The discontinuities on the other hand, are primarily due to the electrostatic potential gradients of the abrupt interface, working on a length scale of ideally a single atomic interplanar spacing, and is almost independent of any doping used. |
