Question: 2 . ( 1 5 points ) Beginning with band alignment before the contact, draw ( by hand ) bandstructure ( E vs . x

2.(15 points) Beginning with band alignment before the
contact, draw (by hand) bandstructure (E vs. x) of the
following structures and indicate EC, EV, EF,BI and other
parameters: EC ,EV where applicable:
(a) p-n
+
homo-junction in GaAs ;
(b) p
+
-N heterojunction of p+
-GaAs and n-Al0.3Ga0.7As with conduction band offset EC /EG =
0.7;
(c) p
+
-P heterojunction of p
+
-GaAs and p-Al0.3Ga0.7As with conduction band offset EC /EG =
0.7
(d) Schottky junction of Au/p-GaAs with Schottky barrier 0.8 eV.
Hint: begin with band alignment with respect to vacuum; consider depletion width vs. doping.
