Semiconducting devices containing quantum wells
Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a device that includes, in order, an emitter layer, a quantum well, and a base layer, where the emitter layer has a first bandgap, the base layer has a second bandgap, and the first bandgap is different than the second bandgap by an absolute difference greater than or equal to 25 meV.
