Problems solved by technology

However, this makes the flatness of the surface of the n-type InGaAs non-alloy layer 14 worse.
On the other hand, when Se / Te with good doping efficiency is used as the n-type dopant material, it is beneficial to improve the flatness of the n-type InGaAs non-alloy layer 14 and reduce the contact resistance, but compared with Si, the diffusion coefficient High, diffusion to the emitter layer 5 may occur during growth

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to reduce the resistance for the n type InGaAs non-alloy layer. N type secondary collector layer (2), n type collector layer (3), p type base layer (4), n type emitter layer (5) and n type InGaAs non-alloy layer (10) are orderly formed on the semi-insulating GaAs substrate (1), the n type InGaAs non-alloy layer (10) is composed of a n type InGaAs gradual change layer (10a) having not homogeneous In composition (not homogeneous group layer) and a n type InGaAs homogeneous group layer (9) having homogeneous In composition. The n type InGaAs gradual change layer (10a) is composed of a first gradual change layer (7) (the first layer) with lower In composition and a second gradual layer (8) with higher In composition than that of the first layer. The first gradual layer (7) is adulterated with Si in order to restrain the background concentration of the C in the In composition and obtaining higher carrier concentration when adulterating Se as n type dopant.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an epitaxial wafer for a transistor and a transistor, in particular to the structure of its n-type InGaAs non-alloy layer. Background technique [0002] High-frequency devices using compound semiconductors represented by GaAs have small deformation and high-efficiency high-frequency characteristics above GHz, so they are widely used in amplifiers for mobile phones and other communication devices. Among them, a heterojunction bipolar transistor (hereinafter referred to as HBT) using a heterojunction in the emitter-base junction has a wider energy gap of the emitter layer than that of the base layer, so that the energy gap of the emitter can be improved. Because of its high injection efficiency, it has excellent high-frequency characteristics, and is widely used in high-output transistors for mobile phones, etc. [0003] In conventional HBTs, the emitter / base junction is generally formed by an AlGaAs / GaAs heterojunction, but in ...
