Abstract
The disclosure is related to a band engineered semiconductor device comprising a substrate and a protruding structure that is formed in a recess in the substrate. The protruding structure extends above the recess and has a buried portion and an extended portion. At least the extended portion comprises a semiconductor material having an inverted ‘V’ band gap profile with a band gap value increasing gradually from a first value at lateral edges of the structure to a second value, higher than the first value, in a center of the structure. The disclosure is also related to the method of manufacturing of such a band engineered semiconductor device.
