The new layout is designed based on the lateral etching characteristics of an InGaAs collector layer with different crystal orientations. The new layout allows more effective and easier base pad isolation for InP-based HBTs, which have the emitter aligned to [011] or [011~] directions, without excessive lateral or additional etching. The maximum f/sub T/ and f/sub max/ of the fabricated device with a 2 /spl times/ 10 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ emitter size using the new layout were found to be 72 and 242 GHz, respectively.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.

Furthermore, a distributed reflector (DR) laser consisting of the VG-DFB region integrated with the semiconductor/BCB DBR as the rear side reflector was realized for high output efficiency operation from the front facet.

We have found that the impact of hydrogen on the threshold voltage of these devices is one order of magnitude smaller than conventional Ti/Pt/Au-gate HEMTs. This markedly improved reliability has been studied through a set of quasi-2D mechanical and electrostatic simulations. These showed that there are two main causes for the improvement of the H-sensitivity. First, the separation of the Ti-layer from the semiconductor by a thick WSiN layer significantly reduces the stress in the active layer. Additionally, the thinner heterostructure and the presence of an InP etch-stop layer with a small piezoelectric constant underneath the gate reduces the amount of threshold voltage shift that is caused by the mechanical stress.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.
