Curent suppression in Al/sub 0.35/Ga/sub 0.65/As-GaAs N-p heterojunctions is observed experimentally. The data are explained by examining the carrier transport modified by electron accumulation in the interface potential notch resulting from the conduction-band discontinuity. In addition, it is found that the temperature dependent I-V measurements can be used to deduce the magnitude of ..delta..E/sub C/ at the junction interface.
