Abstract

In this paper we study the mobility limiting mechanisms in modulation doped Si/SiGe (2DEG) and Ge/SiGe (2DHG) modulation doped heterostructures both experimentally and theoretically. The mobility was measured by Hall measurements as a function of temperature. Using semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory we calculate the low temperature mobility in these structures and conclude that in the 2DEG samples it is limited by remote ionised impurity scattering and in the 2DHG samples it is limited by interface roughness scattering
