摘要
A comparative study on the emitter-base recombination current in different GaAlAs/GaInP/GaAs HBT structures including uniform base HBTs, and composition graded base HBTs, has been carried out. We have demonstrated that a graded base is not sufficient to prevent recombination on the base surface and that a thin GaInP ledge on the base surface remains necessary to retain a high enough current gain for small emitter high-frequency devices.
