Abstract

Recent developments in Si/Ge heteroepitaxy led to spectacular improvements of electrical and optical properties of Si based heterostructures and superlattices. We discuss the realization of high mobility electron and hole channels in Si or Ge quantum wells, the band gap related luminescence in SiGe quantum wells and strain symmetrized Si/Ge short period superlattices and far-infrared intersubband transitions in narrow quantum wells. Possible device applications are pointed out.
