Modification of the effective conduction-band offset in InGaAs/InAlAs isotype heterojunctions by incorporating, during epitaxial growth, a doping dipole formed by alternate n+, p+ delta (δ-) doping is demonstrated. Greatly improved current rectification is found when the dipole polarity enhances the potential barrier.
