Abstract

A new InGaPIGaAs superlattice-emitter resonant tunneling bipolar transistor (BERTBT) has been fabricated and demonstrated. A 5-period InGaPIGaAs superlattice is used to serve the RTroute and the confinement barrier for minority carriers. Due to the large valence band discontinuity (L1Ev) at the InGaPIGaAs heterointerface, a high current gain (βmax ≈220) is obtained. Furthermore, the interesting N-shaped negative-difforentialresistance (NDR) phenomena resultingfrom RT effect are found both in the saturation and forward-active region of currentvoltage characteristics at room temperature.
