Abstract

For reducing turn-on voltage of GaAs-based HBT, Al_0.25Ga_0.75As/GaAs_0.89Sb_0.11/GaAs DHBTs on GaAs (001) is successfully grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE) with a GaAs decomposition source, no misfit dislocation in the base layer was found by observation of SEM. It suggests that GaAsSb base layer is fully strained. Device with 75x75μm2 emitter mesa area is fabricated using this structure and yielded an excellent performance with high current gain of 30 at the collector current density of 2×10³A/cm² and low turn-on voltage of 0.8V. Due to the smaller band gap of the GaAsSb base layer, GaAsSb is useful material for reducing turn-on voltage of GaAs-based HBTs.
