Problems solved by technology

This limits the increase in As content and makes it impossible to reduce ΔEc well
Also, when layered structures are to be formed by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), the aforementioned increase in tensile stress poses a new problem: the hydrogen passivation resistance of carbon acceptors in carbon-doped GaAsSb is greatly reduced. decrease
In addition to the problem of low n-type doping efficiency of the InAlAs layer, this material system also brings about the problem that the carriers are easily absorbed by the InAlAs doped with Si (usually used as n-type dopant). Fluorine (F) passivation
This increases the temperature difference from the growth temperature of the base layer (approximately 500°C under the same conditions), thereby deteriorating the crystal quality of the base layer and the base / collector section
In addition, it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory InAlAs / GaAsSb interface as described in Ref.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a heterostructure bipolar transistor having a base composed of GaAsSb. Background technique [0002] As a compound semiconductor used as a base layer material of an InP-based heterostructure bipolar transistor (HBT), GaAsSb is attracting attention. GaAsSb through mixture GaAs (0.51) Sb (0.49) Lattice matched to InP substrate. InP / GaAs using GaAsSb as base (0.51) Sb (0.49) / InP-based HBT can achieve good high-frequency characteristics and high breakdown voltage characteristics at the same time (Reference 1: "300 GHz InP / GaAsSb / InP Double HBTs with HighCurrent Capability and BVceo ≥ 6V", M.W.Dvorak, Student Member, IEEE, C.R. Bolognesi, Member, IEEE, O.J. Pitts, and S.P. Watkins, Member, IEEE,: IEEE ELECTRON DEVICE LETTERS, VOL.22, NO.8, AUGUST 2001 p.361). Heterostructures include Type I heterostructures and Type II heterostructures. In Type I heterostructures, the conduction band E of semiconductor A CA and valence band ...
