Abstract
A semiconductor device consisting of epitaxial material is provided with at least one monoatomic layer of doping atoms, i.e. with a layer which is just one atom thick. A particularly preferred device is a field effect transistor in which case the Dirac-delta doped layer 13 extends between the source and drain zones (18, 19) respectively. The field effect transistor can be constructed either with a homogeneous structure or with a hetero structure or with a superlattice structure. The field effect transistors described herein have a high transconductance and are capable of operating at high current densities.
