Abstract

Electroluminescence (EL) from a forward-biased Schottky barrier diode on modulation Si δ-doped pseudomorphic GaAs/InGaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure with high mobility electron gas is investigated in this work. It has been found that the EL from the InGaAs quantum well can be observed at temperatures up to 90 K. The EL line shape depends on the current density, which reflects the filling of the InGaAs channel with electrons. The total integrated EL intensity depends linearly on the current density. We propose that hole diffusion from an inversion layer at the Schottky barrier is responsible for the observed optical recombination with electrons in the InGaAs quantum well.
