摘要
The band structure of Si1-xGex/Si coupled quantum wells (CQW) was calculated with the 8-band k - p method. Both strain and spin-orbit split-off band effect were taken into account. The subband energy of the Si0.6Ge0.4/Si quantum well as a function of barrier width and well width was calculated. Barrier width varies between 20-60 angstrom while well width varies between 30-110 angstrom. Finally, the relationship between subband energy and Ge composition range from 10% to 60% was also shown.
