Negligible degradation of current gain due to SiN passivation has been obtained in the InP HBTs with InAlAs emitter. The experimental results indicate that the base-emitter junction leakage current and its stability depend critically on the emitter structure. The suppression of PECVD SiN induced degradation in InP-based HBTs with InAlAs emitter could be attributed to the high resistance to plasma damage of InAlAs material.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.

In this design the In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As channel layer was grown on top of the InGaP graded buffer directly without an InAlAs buffer as in the conventional design. The device shows high breakdown voltage: the measured on-state and off-state breakdown voltage are 11 V and 23 V, respectively, at a gate current of 0.1 mA/mm. The impact ionization rate and its dependence on temperature is also measured and analyzed, and the possible mechanism of the high breakdown voltage achieved is discussed. The metamorphic HEMT shows promising performance for its potential in power applications.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.

For even higher doping levels a red shift of the PL emission is observed. The decay time of an undoped sample shows nonexponential behavior, while the Si doped samples show mono-exponential behavior. Surprisingly, the PL decay time at 2 K is found to be nearly constant for all doping levels, in these samples.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.

In the first we have studied the effects of channel thickness on the breakdown dynamics. On-state breakdown calculations show that channel shrinking results in an enhancement of breakdown voltages. This study shows a frequency dependence of breakdown voltage which is relevant for power RF device applications. In the second approach the effect of a body contact (BC) to quench the breakdown effects and increase the breakdown voltage in InP-LMHEMTs is reported. On-state and off-state breakdown results show that the BC prevents holes generated by impact ionization (II) from accumulating in the channel and the buffer, inhibiting the parasitic bipolar effect (PBE). This improves the breakdown behavior and extends the range of the usable drain voltages.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the epitaxial layers in cross-section to determine their thickness uniformity over the wafer. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) was used to show that although strain in the structure was well accommodated within the InAs/sub y/P/sub 1-y/ graded layers, the cap, active and buffer layers were not completely lattice-matched to each other. In/sub 0.72/Ga/sub 0.28/As photoluminescence (PL) intensity data showed a strong dependence on the lattice-mismatch between the cap and active layers. Photodiode shunt resistance normalized to the active region area, R/sub 0/A, was found to increase dramatically with increasing PL intensity. We propose that PL intensity from the In/sub 0.72/Ga/sub 0.28/As layer on pre-processed wafers is a faithful measure of ultimate device performance.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.
