In this paper, we show that the increase in the recombination current in the emitter space charge region govems the p degradation processes during operation in conventional AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs. We also demonstrate our high-reliability HBTs with a time to failure of lo6 hours at a junction temperature of 200°C by using an InGaP emitter. This is the best value in reported HBTs.3) T-shaped self-aligned HBTs with an InGaP emitter and an AlGaAs emitter were fabricated to examine the degradation mechanism. The HBT has a 70-nmthick carbon doped GaAs base (4 x loi9 ~ m ~ ) and an InGaAs cap layer for nonalloyed metallization. The emitter area is 2 x 10 pm2. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of an HBT. The base electrode was formed through the emitter layer (InGaP or AlGaAs) using Pd/Zn/Pt/Au. We performed a long-term reliability test at an ambient temperature of between 150°C and 260°C with a constant emitter current density of 6 x lo4 A/cm2. For AlGaAs HBTs, p showed a rapid degradation after applying a current stress of 200 hours at 150°C (Fig. 2). These HBTs also showed an increase in the base curtent, Ib, which has an ideality factor, n, nearly equal to 2 in the Gummel plot (Fig.3 (a)). Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed carbon precipitation in the base layer close to the E-B junction. This suggests that the degradation occurred in the intrinsic layer. Recombination enhanced impurity diffusion (REID) is the possible mechanism for the carbon precipitation which, we believe, is triggered by the increase of recombination centers in the space charge region during operation. Contrary to AlGaAs HBTs, InGaP HBTs showed no significant reduction in p under a current stress of over 1000 hours. The Gummel plot (Fig. 3(b)) also shows little change in both Ib and IC. These results indicate that the use of the InGaP emitter is essential for the elimination of recombination current4) and the achievement of highreliability HBTs. Figure 4 shows the dependence of the time to failure (lifetime) on the junction temperature, Tj. We defined the failure as a 10% gain reduction after the initial change (20 to 30 hours). Typical AlGaAs HBTs with an activation energy, Ea, of 0.6 eV appeared to be consistent with the degradation mechanism described","PeriodicalId":425083,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS 1995 Digest of the LEOS Summer Topical Meetings.

As the number of requested channels still increases, a low distortion over an increasing bandwidth is needed. It is at present well understood how lasers with a low distortion at low modulation frequencies must be designed. Strained layer quantum well material must be used to suppress the effect of the carrier density dependence of the absorption [l] and a rather small kL-value is needed to suppress the spatial hole burning contribution [2, 31. However, due to the relaxation oscillations the distortion still increases rapidly with modulation frequency if this frequency rises above a few hundred MHz. As the bandwidth of near-future systems will be as high as SOOMHzlGHz, a strong reduction of the distortion caused by the relaxation oscillations would be highly appreciated. To reduce the distortion in this modulation frequency range, one can make very good use of the non-linear gain-carrier density relation which exists in quantum well material.
