Ga 0.72 Al 0.28 As/Ga 0.99 Be 0.01 As heterojunction bipolar transistor grown by molecular beam epitaxy

1986 
We report the first heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) with base doping level as high as 2 × 10 20 cm -3 . The device is grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with growth conditions adjusted to keep perfect surface morphology and to avoid dopant diffusion even at ultra-high doping levels. Maximum dc current gain of 10 is observed, for a base thickness of 40 nm. This is a new step in the optimization of HBT's structures for high-speed logic and microwave applications.
