Abstract

the low temperature magnetoresistance effect, electron mobilities, and 2 Dimensional electron Gases (2DEG) properties were investigated in $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ quantum well devices. N-type $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ structures were fabricated by utilizing a gas source Molecular Beam Epitaxy (GSMBE). Thermal oxidation was carried out in a dry O atmosphere at $700^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours. Electron mobilities were measured by using a Hall effect and a magnetoresistant effect at low temperatures down to 0.4K. Pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations were observed at a low temperature showing two dimensional electron gases (2DEG) in s tensile strained Si quantum well. The electron sheet density (ns) of $1.5\times10^{12}[\textrm{cm}^{-2}]$ and corresponding electron mobility of 14200 $[\textrm{cm}^2V^{-1}s^{-1}]$ were obtained at a low temperature of 0.4K from $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ structures with thermally grown oxides.
