摘要
A photoconductivity (PC) of Si/Ge/Si structures with narrow Ge layer [thickness's 1.5 and 2 monolayers (ML)] on interband light intensity has been investigated for the different values of lateral voltage U, and temperature T. In contrast to the Si/Ge structure with 2 ML, where only monotonous PC growth was registered, for the 1.5 ML structure a stepped and a fluctuated PC were observed. These PC features are explained by a percolation of photoexcited carriers via the localized states induced by one monolayer scale Si/Ge interface roughnesses. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
