Abstract

The characteristics of InGaP-AlxGa1-xAs-GaAs composite-emitter heterojunction bipolar transistors (CEHBT) were studied for different thickness of AlxGa1-x graded layers. It was found that CEHBT with 70 Å∼100 Å AlxGa 1-xAs graded layers exhibited better properties due to the absence of potential spike. Two practical CEHBT with 0 and 100 å AlxGa 1-xAs graded layers were fabricated in order to compare there properties experimentally. The results show usability of CEHBT with an appropriate thicknesses of the AlxGa1-xAs for analog, digital, and microwave device applications.
