Title
Optimization of QHE-devices for metrological applications
Abstract
In the framework of an European project aiming at the realization of a system for the calibration of capacitance standards based on the quantum Hall effect (QHE), optimized QHE devices for the metrological application as dc as well as ac standards of resistance are developed. The present paper describes the dc characterization of a large number of devices with different layouts, contact configurations, carrier concentrations, and mobilities. The results demonstrate the influence of the device parameters on the critical current, the width of the quantized plateaus, the longitudinal voltages along the device and the quantized Hall resistance. Recommendations are given for the layout and mobility of QHE devices in view of their use as dc standards of resistance
