Abstract
A semiconductor device may include a superlattice comprising a plurality of stacked groups of layers. Each group of layers of the superlattice may include a plurality of stacked base silicon monolayers defining a base silicon portion and an energy band-modifying layer thereon. The energy band-modifying layer may include at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within a crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions. The superlattice may further include at least one pair of oppositely-doped regions therein defining at least one semiconductor junction.
