We propose and demonstrate an enhancement-mode AlxGa1−xAs∕GaAs single heterojunction field-effect transistor, in which the gate dielectric consists of an epitaxial AlxGa1−xAs layer and spin-on benzocyclobutene. The as-grown sample is undoped and, as a result, nonconductive at 4.2K. However, under a positive gate bias, high mobility two-dimensional electrons at the heterointerface are induced, as evidenced by magnetotransport characteristics. Numerical simulations of a model structure provide insight into applications in mesoscopic devices.
