摘要
We fabricated a pnp GaN bipolar junction transistor and investigated its common-emitter current-voltage characteristics. The device structures were grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on a sapphire substrate. The base thickness was 0.12 mum and its doping concentration was estimated to be lower than mid-10(17) cm(-3). We have obtained a maximum common-emitter current gain of 50 at room temperature for collector current ranging from -10(-5) to -10(-4) A. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
