The technological solution is based on high selective etching processes to reach the plane of the very thin quantum well on which, subsequently, a Schottky base contact is obtained using a nonalloyed Ti/Pt/Au metallization scheme. DC and AC electrical measurements demonstrate that the base contact lies on the quantum well of the DBRT structure and the base voltage modulates the collector current. It is shown that the electrical characteristics of these devices enlarge the possibilities of investigations on DBRT structures and suggest important applications in high-speed electronics.","PeriodicalId":144314,"journal":{"name":"1997 International Semiconductor Conference 20th Edition.
