摘要
The influence of potential spike on the transport properties of heterostructure-emitter bipolar transistor (HEBT) has been demonstrated. The potential spike is attributed primarily to the extended depletion region adjacent the p + GaAs base layer. Due to the existence of potential spike, the electrical properties including conducting current, current gain, and offset voltage, etc., are degraded seriously. The knee-shaped characteristics and strong reachthrough effect are observed. Consequently, the design of the structural parameters, such as GaAs emitter (collector) width adjacent p + base, plays an important role of high-performance HEBT devices.
