Abstract
Carbon-doped GaInP/GaAs double heterostructure-emitter bipolar transis tors (DHEBT's) grown by MOCVD were fabricated. A DC current gain of 43 0 (differential gain of 500) and an offset voltage of 25 mV were obtai ned. A gain up to 9 was achieved at a low collector current density of 10(-3) A/cm(2). By using a 600 Angstrom set-back layer in the collect or, the saturation (knee) voltage was found to be lower than 2 V at a collector current density of 1 x 10(4) A/cm(2). A cutoff frequency of 23 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency of 17.8 GHz were obtained.
