Field-effect transistors are fabricated from the heterostructures. The density of the two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in the strained Si quantum well can be controllably tuned from to The temperature dependence of the resistivity of the 2DES was measured and the apparent metal–insulator transition was observed. Its main features are similar to those reported in other semiconductor-based two-dimensional systems.
