ABSTRACT:
On a substrate having a surface slightly tilted by an angle .alpha. within the range of from 0.5 to 10 degrees from the (110) plane in the <00-1> direction, a superlattice structure having a periodicity in both <110> and <001> directions is formed. Various band structures are possible by selecting an appropriate constituent material and periodicity for the superlattice structure. When current flows in a direction without periodicity, a very high mobility is obtained as a result of suppressed alloy scattering. If current is caused to flow in a direction with periodicity, and the periodicity is properly selected, optical phonon scattering can also be suppressed.
