摘要
Based on the insertion of a compositionally linear-graded AlGaAs layer between an InGaP emitter and GaAs base (cap) layer, the zero conduction-band discontinuity and completely reduced potential spike at the emitter-base junction could be obtained in a heterojunction bipolar transistor. This device exhibits not only excellent do characteristics but also better rf performances. Consequently, the designed structure provides promise in high-performance microwave device applications.
