High Uniformity 6” InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth of highly uniform, state-of-the-art InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors is demonstrated in a multi-wafer 6-inch configuration (AIX 2600). The uniformity of thickness, doping, composition, interface properties and minority carrier lifetime are assessed by electrical and structural characterization measurements, and shown to vary by less than ±3% across the wafer. The dc current gain versus base sheet resistance on a high gain structure, has a non-linear dependence on base sheet resistance, typical of high performance InGaP/GaAs HBTs.

Current Gain Dependence on Subcollector and Etch-Stop Doping in InGaP/GaAs HBTs
The dc current gain dependence of InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) on subcollector and etch-stop doping is examined. Samples of InGaP/GaAs HBTs having various combinations of subcollector doping and etch-stop doping are grown, and large area (60 m 60 ( ) HBTs are then fabricated for dc characterization. It is found that the dc current gain has a strong dependence on the dopi...

متن کاملInGaP Makes HBT Reliability a Non-Issue
Among the many benefits InGaP brought to the GaAs-based heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) over the last few years, nothing is more profound than the drastic improvement it provided in the long-term reliability. Today, it is relatively common to obtain activation energies higher than 1.5eV with InGaP HBTs operating under bias and temperature conditions suitable for modern telecommunication...
