    The structural properties and band offset determination of p-channel staggered gap In0.7Ga0.3As/GaAs0.35Sb0.65 heterostructure tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) were investigated. High resolution x-ray diffraction revealed that the active layers are strained with respect to "virtual substrate." Dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry confirmed an abrupt junction profile at the In0.7Ga0.3As/GaAs0.35Sb0.65 heterointerface and minimal level of intermixing between As and Sb atoms. The valence band offset of 0.37 +/- 0.05 eV was extracted from x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A staggered band lineup was confirmed at the heterointerface with an effective tunneling barrier height of 0.13 eV. Thus, MBE-grown staggered gap In0.7Ga0.3As/GaAs0.35Sb0.65 TFET structures are a promising p-channel option to provide critical guidance for the future design of mixed As/Sb type-II based complementary logic and low power devices.
