Deep levels and measured band discontinuities in Si/SiGe heterostructures grown by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy have been identified. Hole traps in the p-type, undoped, single layers of Si{sub 1-x}Ge{sub x}(0.05{le}x{le}0.26) have activation energies ranging from 0.029 to 0.45 eV and capture cross sections ({sigma}{sub infinity}) ranging from 10{sup {minus}9} to 10{sup {minus}20} cm{sup 2}. Possible origins of these centers are discussed. It is found from admittance spectroscopy measurements that the band discontinuity is almost entirely in the valence band for 0
