Extract

Carbon-doped base InGaP/GaAs single and double heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) grown by gas-source Metal Organic Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MOMBE) are reported. Large are devices (emitter diameter 70 μm) exhibited gain of 25 for high injection levels at a base doping of 5 × 1019 cm−3. Ideality factors (<1.1)were obtained for both emitter-base and base-collector junctions in both single (SHBT) and double PHBT) heterojunction devices. Vceo's of 12 V and 19 V for SHBTs and DHBTs respectively were measured.
