Microwave Studies of Self-Aligned Top-Collector Charge Injection Transistors
نویسنده
چکیده
Charge injection transistors have been implemented in molecular-beam-epitaxy-grown InGaAs/InALAs/InGaAs and InGaAs/InPDnGaAs heterosuuctures using a selfaligned process for the collector stripe definition. Scattering parameters have been measmd in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 40 GHz. InP-banier devices show the best microwave performance ever reported for a real-space transfer transistor: at 40 GHz the short circuit current gain lh2l I is 8 dB and the power gain is larger than unity. The slope of lhZ1 (f ) I depends on the bias point and is generally gentler than 20 dB/dec. Extrapolating at the measured slope, we find lh21 I = 1 at f=115GHz. The short circuit current gain cutoff fT. defined by extrapolation at 20 dB/dec from the point of least mean square deviation of the measured slope from 20 dB/dec is fT = 73 GHz. KO I l a w l i

متن کاملHigh Performance Lateral Schottky Collector Bipolar Transistors on SOI for VLSI Applications
Advanced bipolar transistors play a vital role in RF/Microwave applications. But they need to satisfy stringent demands on device performance parameters such as β, gm, and fT. Many of the bipolar technologies developed to meet these demands are vertical structures and suffer from many non−ideal effects at high collector current densities. In the present work, to enhance the performance limits o...
متن کاملModeling Electron Transport in InGaAs-Based Resonant-Tunneling Hot-Electron Transistors
This paper describes the modeling of the resonant-tunneling hot-electron transistor (RHET). In the analysis of the resonanttunneling harrier, we solved the Schrodinger and the Poisson equations self-consistently. We simulated the electron transport in the base and the collector barrier region using the Monte Carlo method, taking account of the space charge in the collector barrier. Our model in...
متن کاملLight emitting charge injection transistor with p-type collector
We report the first realization of a charge injection transistor with a complementary collector. The device is implemented using InGaAs/InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructure material grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Real space transfer of hot electrons into the p-type collector leads to a luminescence signal arising from the recombination of the injected electrons with holes in the collector active reg...
متن کاملBuried Injector Logic, a Vertical Iil Using Deep Ion Implantation
A vertically integrated alternative for integrated injection logic has been realized, named buried injector logic (BIL). 1 MeV ion implantations are used to create buried layers. The vertical pnp and npn transistors have thin base regions and exhibit a limited charge accumulation if a gate is saturated. d.c. and dynamic analysis of BIL-gate behaviour are given. A minimum gate delay of well belo...
