contents We present a new double-layer design for 2D surface superlattice systems in GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructures. Unlike previous studies, our device (1) uses an in-situ gate, which allows very short period superlattice in high mobility, shallow heterostructures; (2) enables independent control of the carrier density and the superlattice modulation potential amplitude over a wide range. We characterise this device design using low-temperature magneto-transport measurements and show that the fabrication process caused minimal damage to the system. We demonstrate the tuning of potential modulation from weak (much smaller than Fermi energy) to strong (larger than the Fermi energy) regimes.
