A new InGaP/GaAs double delta-doped heterojunction bipolar transistor ((DHB
T)-H-3) has been fabricated successfully and demonstrated. Due to the emplo
yment of delta-doped sheets, the potential spikes at emitter-base (E-B) and
base-collector (B-C) heterojunctions are suppressed considerably. Therefor
e, good transistor performance including higher current gain and lower knee
voltage are obtained. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
