AlInAs/GaInAs/InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) with three different InP collector dopings of 1.4*10/sup 16/, 2.4*10/sup 16/, and 3*10/sup 16/ cm/sup -3/ and a collector thickness of 0.75 mu m have been made for microwave power applications. The DC and RF performance of the devices was found to be strongly dependent on the collector doping. This strong sensitivity to the collector doping is due to the conduction band discontinuity between GaInAs and InP at the base-collector junction. DC and RF characterization was performed on 2- mu m*20- mu m single-emitter geometry devices which are used in the construction of the microwave power cells. The DHBTs achieved base-collector breakdown voltages in excess of 20 V and common-emitter breakdown voltages of more than 14 V (both measured at 100 mu A of current).

These lasers show a characteristic peaking in the small signal modulation response at a particular drive current, which is believed to be related to the tunneling. The principle of operation promises to be a 'cold' laser at high injection levels, eliminating a broad thermal carrier distribution, and therefore Auger recombination and chirp are expected to be suppressed, particularly in InP-based devices. In addition, tunneling of carriers into the active well will ensure very large modulation bandwidths.

The large gDs was found to limit both the frequency performance, and the useful operational range of sub-micron devices to drain biases VDs < 0.4-0.5 V.l In the present paper, we show how the well thickness and the buffer layers influence the charge control properties of InAs/AISb HFETs, and how the kink can be eliminated from the drain characteristics of micron-sized HFETs, resulting in low output conductances and well-behaved drain characteristics. We also demonstrate that a proper buffer layer structure is most beneficial in sub-micron devices, and results in great improvements in operational range and frequency performance. First, we show that an increase in quantization energy, achieved by reducing the InAS well thickness, is not sufficient to eliminate the kink from the device characteristics: InAdAISb HFETs exhibit a kink for well thicknesses ranging from 15 to 7.5 nm. Though narrower wells can be grown, the dominance of interface roughness scattering in narrower wells2 makes them less attractive for high-speed HFET applications. Next, we demonstrate that the kink effect is intimately related to the composition and growth conditions used for the AI,Ga,-Sb buffer layers grown immediately below the device active region to provide a chemically stable mesa floor: with proper alloy compositions and growth conditions, InAdAISb HFETs are essentially kink free, and exhibit output conductances as low as 25 mS/mm (see Fig. 1). We also demonstrate how the addition of donors to the buffer layers can be used to further drastically alter the charge control in the InAs/AISb HFET and yield still lower output conductances. Our observations appear to link the kink effect to the holes generated during impact ionization near the drain end of the gate. Finally, we show that the improvement in buffer layers benefits sub-micron devices as well: cut-off frequencies fT as high as 70 GHz (extrapolated from 40 GHz at -6 dB/oct) were obtained in 0.5 pm devices that can be operated at drain voltages as high as VDs = 1.3 V. The improved charge control results in a nearly doubled f, (for a 17% reduction in gate length) when compared to our previous results.’ This work was supported by the ONR.","PeriodicalId":310841,"journal":{"name":"51st Annual Device Research Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127735956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
