Abstract

The structures of systems of different dimensions and their interface can be called heterodimensional devices. In this paper we discuss a family of photodetector devices that are based on embedding three dimensional (3D) to two dimensional (2D) contacts by employing modulation doping of a layered heterostructure and contacting the resultant two dimensional electron gas by Schottky metal. The process of current transport between 3D and 2D is analyzed showing barrier enhancement mechanisms due to electron confinement. Optical spectral behavior is also discussed showing the effect of quantized energy levels as well as the electric field present in these multilayer structures.
