Type II broken-gap GaSb1 − xAsx/InAs heterojunction (x < 0.15): Evolution of the band diagram for the ternary solid solution

Layers of the GaSb1 − x As x alloy with arsenic content in the range x = 0.06–0.15 have been grown for the first time on InAs (100) substrates by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. A new approach to the calculation of the band diagram of the GaSbAs alloy is suggested. It is demonstrated on the basis of magnetotransport measurements in p-GaSbAs/p-InAs heterostructures and with the method suggested by the authors for the calculation of band diagrams for alloys in the GaSbAs system that, in the composition range under study, the GaSbAs/InAs heterojunction is a type II broken-gap heterojunction.
