Notes:
The trapping of photogenerated carriers by embedded InAs quantum dots (QDs) has been studied at 77 K in novel GaAs/n-AlGaAs structures. It is found that the concentration Ns of two dimensional electrons at a given gate voltage Vg is persistently increased by light illumination, because of the trapping of holes by QDs. By the interplay of the gate voltage and photocarrier generation, a distinct hysteresis is observed in the Ns-Vg characteristics. A drastic change of electron mobility by a factor of 19 is achieved by light illumination. The applications of this device for a novel light-controllable floating dot memory is suggested. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
