Abstract

Disclosed herein are a method of generating a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) using a type-2 quantum well formed using semiconductors with different electron affinities or band gap, and a high-speed p-type semiconductor device using the 2DHG. To this end, the method includes providing a semiconductor substrate; growing a first semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate, growing a second semiconductor layer with a different electron affinity or band gap from the first semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer, and growing a third semiconductor layer with a different electron affinity or band gap from the second semiconductor layer, thereby forming a type-2 quantum well; and forming a p-type doping layer in the vicinity of the type-2 quantum well, thereby generating the 2DHG.
