The influence of shallow background donor impurities on the energy characteristics of the SiGe/ Si/SiGe quantum well structure with centered delta-doping is studied numerically. The description of the self-consistent method includes the calculation of the donors impurity binding energy in the delta-layer. The delta-layer impurity binding energy as well as the energy differences between the first quantized electron subbands in the well demonstrate a significant dependence on the characteristics of the background doping. Therefore, the background doping cannot be neglected when studying phenomena like intersubband optical transitions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
