Abstract
A semiconductor junction may include a first layer and a second layer. The first layer may include a first semiconductor material and the second layer may be deposited on the first layer and may include a second material. The valence band maximum of the second material is higher than a conduction band minimum of the first semiconductor material, thereby allowing a flow of a majority of free carriers across the semiconductor junction between the first and second layers to be diffusive.
