摘要:
High speed selfaligned Ga0.5In0.5P/GaAs hole barrier bipolar transistors (HBBTs) with a 60 nm carbon doped base layer (p = 6.5 x 10(19) cm-3) and a 20 nm undoped GaInP barrier have been fabricated. The devices show maximum small signal current gains around 30, independent of emitter size. A current gain cutoff frequency of f(T) = 95 GHz and power pin cutoff frequency of f(max) = 110 GHz are reported for 1.5 x 10 mum2 and 2 x 1.5 x 10 mum2 devices, respectively. These results represent the best microwave performance yet reported for Ga0.5In0.5 P/GaAs based HBTs.
